System: NetBSD cats 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (CATSFW192) #3: Thu Apr 26 16:42:34 BST 2001 root@cats:/usr/src/sys/arch/arm32/compile/CATSFW192 arm32


>Description:
/etc/rc.d/wscons does not have the capability to alter any options with
wsconsctl which includes keyboard mappings. To set up keyboard mappings you
need to manually add wsconsctl commands to /etc/rc.local or such like.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a UK keyboard. Try and type a #, you get \, etc.
>Fix:
Alter /etc/rc.d/wscons to add capability to set keyboard mappings based on
settings in /etc/wscons.conf. The attached patch will understand lines such
as:
encoding	uk
keysym		Control_L	Caps_Lock

In addition, I've included a patch which adds an example and some comments
to /etc/wscons.conf
