OpenSUSE Install :: Loading Console Keymap On Boot
Feb 11, 2010During boot-up of openSUSE 11.2 (dup'd from 11.1; default runlevel 3) the following message appears:
Code:
My question now: Is there a way to tell SUSE to set the above mentioned keymap using UTF-8 encoding instead of assuming ISO-8859-15?
The few Google search results (~7) on this topic also seem to indicate that this is a 'German-only' problem because it only seems to appear when setting German keymaps.
Slackware :: Finding The Location Of Default Console Keymap?
Mar 20, 2010I avoid capslock like the plague and use "ctrl:nocaps" when in X, and would like to have the same behaviour in the console. Back when I was using Debian I got it set up the way I want, but now I can't seem to locate the default keymap. I tried editing
Code:
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/defkeymap.map.gz
and it works when I use loadkeys manually, but not on boot.
Slackware :: Keymap Change In Locally Installed Wmii?
Jul 1, 2010I've installed wmii as window manager (slackware 13.1) locally, i.e. not system wide. I use a german keyboard and this works fine until I start my window manager. within wmii the german layout is not present (neither in xterm nor in emacs or ooo3 etc). I changed the file /etc/X11/xorg-conf already accordingly but without any effect. Hence I suspect that the local installation of the wmii requires a change of another config-file?!

Mar 20, 2010Is there any way to specify which monitor the console is displayed on in Linux?
Details: I have a 3 monitor setup with 2 video cards. When I boot the computer, the BIOS displays on the PCI graphics card (which has a small monitor). When starting Linux, the console is displayed on the same monitor. Is there a way to have the console output on a different monitor? I'm using the vesafb framebuffer.
I don't see a way in my BIOS to change the default video card.

Jun 14, 2010How do I change the screen blanking behavior on Linux virtual terminals?
For example, if I switch to a VT from X, login, and leave the system alone for 5 minutes or so, the screen will blank like a screensaver. It comes back with any keypress, like a screensaver.
Mostly I just want to change the timeout, but I'm also interested in other settings.
If it helps, one of my systems is running Ubuntu 10.04 with the stock graphics drivers. fbset shows the console using the radeondrmfb framebuffer device.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Change The Console Font?
Jul 11, 2010Not the gnome-terminal fonts... That's easy... How about the font faces on tty1-6? I tried Slackware once... It was way back in my Linux experience so it struck to me as a clumsy and ill-managed operating system despite that the fact is the exact opposite... Well, as it appears, Slackware did have something about changing the console font since it mostly focused on terminal, you know, it booted up in terminal by default, for starters. Anyway, since Ubuntu is Linux as well, I guess there must be some way of changing the font face for the terminals, eh?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Cannot Change Resolution On Console
Jul 20, 2010I have been running Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop just about since it came out.Prior to that I was running 9.10 on the same laptop. I was so happy with 9.10 I thought I could only be happier with 10.04.I was wrong.There are some things about 9.10 that I have *lost* in the transition to 10.04.These bother me quite a bit so much so that I have repeatedly considered going back to 9.10.Please keep in mind this all worked fine under 9.10 on exactly the same hardware.
1) When I connect the external VGA port on my laptop to my 32 Samsung TV it comes up as a 40 Samsung TV and it is impossible to set the correct resolution.This makes watching TV over the Internet via my notebook impossible (I used to use URL... and others).
2) I cannot change the resolution on the console (the TTY's 1 to 6). It used to come up as standard old fashioned VGA (80 columns by 25 rows of text) but now it is much smaller font and much larger console.The VGA= in GRUB does nothing. And this is the only suggestion I seem to be able to find. From my reading most people seem to like the large console w/ small font.I dislike it for the reason I will get into next
3) DOSEMU locks up my computer with a blank screen when running in super mode on the console.Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F# accomplishes nothing and either does Ctrl+Alt+Del.I have to press and hold the power button forcing a hard shutdown (at least this is the only solution I have found).
Slackware :: Get A US Keymap In X?
Feb 24, 2011in 13.0 I remember I had to setup some HAL stuff to get a UK keyboard. Now I have upgraded to 13.1 and my keyboard has been replaced with a US keyboard, so I would like to change the keymap to match. From what I have found when reading X no longer uses HAL? In which case, how would I change the keymap? I am not using an xorg config file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Can't Change The Resolution Of Text Console On 13
Aug 8, 2010I have install Fedora 13 on my machine (Intel 815 Chipset with graphic card of nVidia GeForce 256), but the default resolution of text console wound have be about 1024x768. I intend this machine as a simple samba server (without X Window), so just a low-resolution monitor will work with it. However, this monitor can't work with the resolution higher than 800x600, I have to change the resolution lower. I have searched the solutions for this problem on Google. Most of them thought I should fix /boot/grub/grub.conf, append "vga=769", "vga=771" or even "vga=ask" to the end of the line start with the word "kernel". I have tried but all of them doesn't work. Just like Fedora 13 use the value from the other configure file overwrite the one list in grub.conf. As everyone knows, if I installed and launched X Window on my machine, I could query and change the resolution with command "xrandr". Are there some similar ones that can work on text console?

Aug 16, 2010I just installed Slackware 13.1 on my Acer a0531h. My first problem is the size of letters on pure console. It's too small. I tried tweaking lilo but even using 'normal' doesn't change the size of letters. I haven't changed the default font (I think it's called default8x16). The text looks pretty sharp though, so I'm wondering whether this is its native resolution. The text during installation was huge, and quite blurry. I just want to have a text size I can easily read and if possible be sharp. I know I can start X and have whatever font family and size I want, but somehow I feel better using pure console. Just in case it matters, I want to say that eventually I want to have UTF8 support on the command line (so that I can read and write Greek).

Mar 25, 2009I'm using Fedora 10 x86_64 with an ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 video card. Before installing fglrx & compiz, the text console (while booting up) was shown at 1280x800 resolution (laptop widescreen). After installing fglrx & compiz the console would only show up as 640x480 resolution. My resolution in X starts as 1280x800 without any problem. I realize that you can use vga=xxx as a kernel argument but this only works with NON-widescreen resolutions. I require that it be set to a widescreen resolution like it was before the fglrx & compiz installation.

Sep 25, 2010I can't find, though, how to change that. In DOSBox, ctrl+alt+f5 starts and stops video capture, but Ubuntu's command took precedence when I did that. I had to hard shut down before doing some searching and finding out ctrl+alt+f7 gets me out of there...that doesn't help me with the problem of taking video on DOSBox though. I went to ystem>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts to see if I could change the command or disable it, but it wasn't listed...so I'm stuck. I don't want ctrl+alt+f5 to bring me to a console, so how do I make it not do that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Keymap For Apple M7803 Keyboard?
Mar 25, 2011Some time ago I acquired a non-working Apple Power Macintosh G4 with an Apple Pro Keyboard - model M7803 - (and a LaCie electron22blue CRT monitor). The fault turned out to be simple to fix and a re-install of OS X Leopard produced a working system - with all keys on the keyboard returning the symbols engraved thereon. BUT - Leopard is the last version of OS X to support PPC machines. SO - I've added a second hard drive which I'm using to experiment with dual-booted Linux distributions. I'm currently using the latest version of MintPPC. The first installation step is to do a network install of a basic CLI Debian Squeeze setup. Then the 'Mint' bits are added. System Monitor reports:Debian Release 6.0.1
Kernel 2.6.32-5-powerpc
GNOME 2.30.2
My M7803 keyboard is sort of 'British' - Shift+3 gives '�'.However, compared to a standard 105-key PC keyboard, @ and " are interchanged in the US fashion. The installed keymap handles these keys but fails for the two extra keys - key 49 (the key to the left of '1') and key 94 (the key to the left key of 'Z'). I found a 'fix' for this here: [URL] using xmodmap. BUT - this fix has to be done each time the machine is started. how can I make the changes 'stick'? One way would be to create a modified keymap and then point my system to it. However, all of the suggestions I've found on how to do this founder on the non-availability of either an application or a file or some detail of how to ensure that the modified keymap is used. Edit] Should have followed the Ubuntu forum thread to the bitter end. Creating a ~/.Xmodmap file automates the process - but you would need to create this file for each user.
