Dear all,
I have just installedfreebsd FreeBSD 10.0 onto an old Thinkpad X60. I am taking it slowly to make sure all the details are right. The laptop has a CP 850 keyboard. This is working correctly in the terminal apart from two keys which show a character value instead of rendering. Setting the keyboard to uk.iso (with kbdmap) changes the value shown:
The values displayed also differ depending on the login (ivan is logged in with zsh). Ivan's displayed values are the character codes for the expected characters.
Changing the keymap or font --- either with kbdmap and vidfont, or by editing /etc/rc.conf and rebooting --- seems to have no effect.
The only relevant-looking screenmap I have is iso-8859-1_to_cp437.scm. Adding this to /etc/rc.conf and reebooting has no effect.
Am I missing a screenmap? If so, which ones do I need and where can I get them?
Is there anything else I should be doing to get this keyboard rendering properly?
It would be acceptable if root's console keyboard was limited.
With thanks and best wishes,
Ivan
