I assume it doesn't currently work: + http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/console.htmlq + *http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/console.html + it does actually work + simply dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration + and reboot + (see http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install + ) + mhm, I got that far — but selecting my layout gave me no joy, even + after restart. Seem to be stuck with the layout chosen during + installation (d-i). Just to check I'm using the right version — still on + the installer isos from 15 July? + wait… progress is being made — slowly and subtly… + Ok, so the XKBLAYOUT is changing as you described, but XKBVARIANT + seems to be ignored. Could this be right? + yes, the hurd console only supports keymaps + (currently) + Ah OK, thanks for your help on this. I imagine this is not + something that just requires simple repetitive work, but some actual + hacking? + to fix that is… + some hacking yes -- cgit v1.2.3
