Hi,

I'm trying to use UK fonts and a UK keyboard on my PC without much luck.
This is what my rc.conf says:

...
moused_enable="YES"
saver="blank"
blanktime="600"
font8x8="iso-8x8"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x16="iso-8x16"
keymap="uk.iso"
...

This worked with the GENERIC kernel with my original FreeBSD 4.2-release
installation.

Since then, I've cvsup'd to stable (and currently 4.3-beta), done my
"make buildworld" and recompiled my kernel. A now the keymap, fonts and
moused don't work!

The relevant bits of my kernel config...

# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device          atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
device          atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1

device          psm0    at atkbdc? irq 12

device          vga0    at isa?

# splash screen/screen saver
pseudo-device   splash

# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console
device          sc0     at isa?


I've also tried adding:

options         ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP       # specify the built-in keymap
makeoptions     ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP="uk.iso"

This helped - it gave me the UK keymap. But why doesn't keymap loading
in rc.conf work? Also, moused still doesn't work!

Here's a snip from my dmesg for info:

atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0
kbd0 at atkbd0
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on
isa0
sc0: <System console> on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x200>


Any help would be appreciated. I'll be happy to supply more info if
needed.

Thanks.

From,

Tim
