%general-entities; ]> Kbd Prepare Kbd for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=/lib/kbd --datadir This option places the Kbd data and keymap files into /lib/kbd, as they are used by some of the scripts in the CLFS-Bootscripts package and must be on the root partition. Compile the package: make This package does not come with a test suite. Install the package: make install Some of the programs from Kbd are used by scripts in the CLFS-Bootscripts package. As /usr may not be available during the early stages of booting, those binaries need to be on the root partition: mv -v /usr/bin/{kbd_mode,openvt,setfont} /bin Installed programs chvt, deallocvt, dumpkeys, fgconsole, getkeycodes, kbd_mode, kbdrate, loadkeys, loadunimap, mapscrn, openvt, psfaddtable (link to psfxtable), psfgettable (link to psfxtable), psfstriptable (link to psfxtable), psfxtable, resizecons, setfont, setkeycodes, setleds, setmetamode, showconsolefont, showkey, unicode_start, and unicode_stop Short Descriptions chvt Changes the foreground virtual terminal chvt deallocvt Deallocates unused virtual terminals deallocvt dumpkeys Dumps the keyboard translation tables dumpkeys fgconsole Prints the number of the active virtual terminal fgconsole getkeycodes Prints the kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table getkeycodes kbd_mode Reports or sets the keyboard mode kbd_mode kbdrate Sets the keyboard repeat and delay rates kbdrate loadkeys Loads the keyboard translation tables loadkeys loadunimap Loads the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table loadunimap mapscrn An obsolete program that used to load a user-defined output character mapping table into the console driver; this is now done by setfont mapscrn openvt Starts a program on a new virtual terminal (VT) openvt psfaddtable A link to psfxtable psfaddtable psfgettable A link to psfxtable psfgettable psfstriptable A link to psfxtable psfstriptable psfxtable Handle Unicode character tables for console fonts psfxtable resizecons Changes the kernel idea of the console size resizecons setfont Changes the Enhanced Graphic Adapter (EGA) and Video Graphics Array (VGA) fonts on the console setfont setkeycodes Loads kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table entries; this is useful if there are unusual keys on the keyboard setkeycodes setleds Sets the keyboard flags and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) setleds setmetamode Defines the keyboard meta-key handling setmetamode showconsolefont Shows the current EGA/VGA console screen font showconsolefont showkey Reports the scancodes, keycodes, and ASCII codes of the keys pressed on the keyboard showkey unicode_start Puts the keyboard and console in UNICODE mode. Never use it on CLFS, because applications are not configured to support UNICODE. unicode_start unicode_stop Reverts keyboard and console from UNICODE mode unicode_stop
