Nearly everyone who wants to set up their national locale needs to recompile the kernel, since some important characters are hidden under mouse cursor. I sure that at least these are affected: (from /usr/share/syscons/font) iso-8859-2-8x16.fnt iso02-8x8.fnt koi8-r-8x8.fnt iso02-8x14.fnt koi8-r-8x14.fnt koi8-rb-8x16.fnt iso02-8x16.fnt koi8-r-8x16.fnt koi8-rc-8x16.fnt Will changing it to 0x08 break anything? -- << Marcin Cieslak // saper@system.pl >> ----------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM Internet Provider http://www.system.pl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
