Hello. I am Lee, Jaeho from South Korea. ( not North lol ) I am trying to ask you about the Korean keyboard support in FreeBSD. The Korean keyborad is featured as below. "The Korean keyboard has two keys, the Korean/Chinese and the Korean/English toggles, that generate scancodes f1 and f2 (respectively) when pressed, and nothing when released. They do not repeat. The keycaps are "hancha" and "han/yong" (written in Hangul). Hancha (hanja) means Chinese character, and Han/Yong is short for Hangul/Yongcha (Korean/English). They are located left and right of the space bar." ( From : http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-9.html ) Basically, on the Korean 103/106 (Korean Government Standard), there are two additional keys as Hangul(scancode of 0xf2) and Hanja(scancode of 0xf1) to the US 101/104 keyborad. and they don't have release signals if they are ps/2 type. USB keborad does have release signals. I tried look in src/sys/dev/atkbdc/atkbd.c and tried to make a patch on my own which I inspired by the patch from the linux kernel : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6642 , but since I am not well experienced yet in freebsd programing so I eventually came to ask for your help. I am ready to give you answers and informations to any kind of questions about Korean keybord specifications or other things related that you might want to know. :) As you can guess, the keyboard support is quite evident and will be really important and helpful to many Korean FreeBSD users. Thank you in advance. :) Lee.
