Well i wanted to ask for a console (the Alt+ Fn things) who controls
the default keymap, the default codepage, the default iocharset/nls if
you prefer. It is my fear that it's the kernel so if someone wants to
change them he would have to recompile the kernel, but then the question
remains. Upon boot (init level 3 always) which language will be used?
Although i don't think that it plays any role, let's assume a Fedora
Core 4 machine (it should be the same regardless of the Fedora Core
version but anyway)
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_AU.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
#SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="us"
The i18n file would appear to set the default, language, character
encoding, and font. NB: Some are as terse as that example, some have
many more lines.
I presume the keyboard file sets the keymap, it looks that way, but I
haven't tried changing things to see if it's actually used. I have
messed with settings and seen different languages (with their native
fonts) in the consoles, and that was just by changing settings (no
recompiling needed).
