Keyboard Issue

[Peter_17]

Hi All,

I've done a fresh install of 10.2, but have come across this strange problem. When I press the "|\" or the "?/" keys, I get other characters like "E" and "e (with an accent)", and "H" for the other.. etc... Anyway, could someone point me in the right direction to map these keys to what they should be.

Thanks,

Pete.

Try to adjust the serial line settings in /etc/gettydef.

I believe you need to download or update your terminfo files.
These are located under /usr/share/lib/terminfo, then arranged in sub-folders alphabetically.
These are used to tell the O/S specific information about your terminal or emulator, such as how to clear screen, erase, etc.
Try "man terminfo" for more information.
To find what terminal type you are currently using, type "echo $TERM" .

Hello Peter,

check what is in your "/etc/kbdlang" - could it be, it
does not fit your local keyboard (I guess you do have
a workstation or server with local graphics card, mouse,
and keyboard, andyou get those wrong characters on
the "ITE"=Integrated Terminal Equipment ).

This is read from within "/sbin/bcheckrc" during the early
booting steps (before the "/sbin/rc" even starts) and
the program using it is "itemap".

There are some interactive options to "itemap" so you
can list all possible options, something like "itemap -i -L",
or so IIRC...

HTH,
Wodisch
