The whole console layout database needs to be re-synched with the xorg one (People have stopped submitting patches to kbd every time they fix an xkeyboard-config bug. After several years of such the disconnect is getting huge). The whole console font set needs to be dumped and the console taught to use generic truetype/opentype fonts (likewise, bugs are fixed in modern fonts but not legacy console fonts, plus legacy fonts are limited to 256 glyphs so each time someone gets to add a glyph for a language he breaks another one. A year ago I've asked volunteers to look at console fonts. So far no one answered). For some reason switching to the console displays an @ nowadays login does not work as a result right now. Can't login, broken display and buggy keyboard layouts. I don't see how the situation could be worse (but I'm sure next month rawhide will show me). -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
