You should use 'vidcontrol' to load the font file; not 'kbdcontrol'. For example: vidcontrol -f 8x8 iso-8x8 Please read the man page for vidcontrol. >Incidentally i have loaded fr.iso.acc keymap >and indeed a q etc. are at the correct places >but accented letters do not work, and emit a beep. How are you entering the accented letter? In order to get the accented 'a', you first hit the accent char key, then hit 'a'. >Second vidcontrol refuses to go to 80x60 >or VGA_80x60 or any other mode, while other >options work. You need to load 8x8 font first. Kazu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
