Unfortunately this mapping never worked well, is full of obsolete entries, has been a PITA to get updated for at least a decade (bugzilla change requests got ignored for years). Its only redeemable feature was that once you had installed your system you could fix anaconda choices in sysconfig files and forget about this particular i18n horror story (good i18n is much less important server-side which explains why anaconda layout support was 'good enough' for RHAT I guess) kbd layout database has fallen into disrepair since ubuntu/debian started generating their console layouts from xkb-config (they don't use kbd). Ubuntu/debian has the lion share desktop-side so all the i18n layouts get improved and updated in xkb-config, and few layout authors even bother with kbd layouts anymore (writing a layout is akin to writing in assembler, no one once to write the same routine twice it two different obscure layout dialects if it's possible to avoid it) > We are happy to take patches for this database file, to improve the > mapping. The database is bitrotten and even it it wasn't most modern layouts do not exist kbd-side at all. Most layouts with perfect mapping are old legacy ascii layouts. They are still in xkb-config for historical reasons but in many locales the preferred layout includes changes (unicode…) which have never been ported to kbd. If you really want to support console keyboard layouts in systemd, you need to start generating console layouts from xkb-config, not adopt the old anaconda mapping bandaid -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
