https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193192 --- Comment #4 from Stefan Esser <se@FreeBSD.org> --- Just an observation with the patched port (patch attached to this PR applied): It seems that I can enter all characters, including e.g. the Euro sign (U+20AC), as verified in a terminal window and with xev. Without the patch, the X server does not start at all (if a keymap with characters >= 0x100 is loaded). With the patch, the X server starts and I do not see what's missing ;-) Since 10.1 will have vt enabled by default and I plan to MFC a version of rc.d/syscons, that selects a vt keymap matching a syscons keymap specified in rc.conf, this may hurt people that upgrade an existing system to 10.1. They'll have a working keyboard (with localized keymap) on the console, but cannot any longer start the X server. Therefore, I'd want to argue for adding this work-around to the xorg-input-keyboard port, until a better solution is available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
