Subject: Keymap problem maybe?
Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 13:02:55 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.30.0106281255120.404-100000@maranatha> (raw)
When I originally compiled my 2.4.5 kernel with speakup patched in using
cvs, I chose my synthesizer in make config and also chose "y" for the
speakup keymap as default. My keyboard worked fine, nothing unusual.
However, when my console-tools package was upgraded, I got the message
"looking for keymap to install: none". I wondered about that but didn't
do anything about it since the keyboard was working. However, I have now
also done a 2.4.5 kernel without speakup, for using emacspeak by itself,
for experimenting with festival, etc. When I booted with this new kernel,
I immediately discovered that my "alt" key isn't working correctly. This
is evidenced by the fact that I have to use escape instead of alt in
emacspeak to enter a command. Also I don't appear to be able to change
consoles with alt-function keys. Do I have to somehow install another
keymap? And do I have to do something more about the speakup keymap,
since console-tools isn't finding any keymap? I also had speakup and
non-speakup versions of 2.2.19 kernel and never had this problem before.
