Re: [Trinux-talk] keyboard

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Not sure if this helps:

I added the busybox keyboard utilities to the latest initrd.gz
http://trinux.sf.net/snaps/

dumpkmap
setkeycodes
loadkmap

I also added dumpkeys the to the kmap.tgz package.

Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done to support
non-US/non-QWERTY keyboards such as modifying the linuxrc or to allow
user to specify keymap/country on the bootdevice so everything occurs
automatically.
