Last weekend I tried to create a syscons keyboardmap file for the swiss-german keyboard I have. Unfortunately, there are two different key layouts. That will make it difficult to just switch to a swiss-german keyboard without knowing the layout currently in use. OK, that's another story. I finally can now enter, e.g. a-umlaut, into my xterms, into "cat" but not on the real syscons console. That is, every time I hit a-umlaut it just sends a "beep" and that's it. As said before, doing a simple "cat" on the (text) console shows all the characters I type on the screen, including a-umlaut. So, what do I have to do to get these characters displayed on the normal text console ? I guess it must be something with "stty -cs8" or so, but I am not sure. I know that Soren Schmid did the syscons driver but I couldn't find an E-Mail address to ask him directly. Thanks in advance for all the help you can provide.
