Loading Keymap In RedHat 7

[Pete De Vasto]

Stephen:

My /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file has only the following two lines in it:

KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="us"

I'm a little confused..  Is this the file I should be looking at?

Thanks,
Pete

  If you edit the following file and remove the .map extension from speakup, the key map will load automatically.

  /etc/sysconfig/keyboard 

  the bottom line is usually the one that you are looking for to make the above change to.

  Good luck!

    Hi, everyone:

    Well, thanks to Bill Acker's excellent assistance, I've got speakup running on my Redhat 7 Linux system.  I'm really like a kid in a candy store because the interface is very good and easy to use.  I have it running with an Accent-SA synthesizer.

    My first question has to do with the default loading of the keymap file.  As Ia test, I wanted to reboot my system just to make sure it came back up cleanly, but I noticed that the navigation keystrokes were no longer working after the reboot.  I took a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, and discovered that speakup's key table is not automatically loaded upon reboot (probably no surprise to you veteran speakup users (smile)).I happen to have the speakup keymap file downloaded from Bill's FTP site in my home directory, so the first thing I do when I login is to type:

    loadkeys speakup.kmap.gz

    and all is well.  There has to be a better and more automatic way to get this keymap file loaded, isn't there?

    Thanks for any help.
