> Or maybe even with the US keymap... I tried azerty french Belgium keyboard which produces the same results. I tried to compile another kernel (2.6.25 to 2.6.26) but the problem is still here. I made additionnal tests : - the login problem (with strange characters) can produce at anytime (juste after the boot, or after several seconds). - when a login failed on a console (example tty1) and strange characters appears instead of normal characters, if a press Alt-Fx to pass on console ttyx and I come back to tty1 the key I press come back correct (aren't preceed by th ^[ things). - when a login failed on a console, the history keys (arrows) are fontionnals. So,here here is what i did after a successfull console login : # /etc/init.d/keyboard-setup restart Setting preliminary keymaps...done # login Debian login§: root // Here, one strange character appears before ":" password: ****** Login failed Debian login§: ^[r ^[o [^C^C // Here I pressed Ctrl-C to quit the login command previously entered # // Here, keys I press are replaced by an audible "bips" exept few of them (like arrows) # /etc/init.d/keyboard-setup restart // Here I call back the previous command with functionnal arrows keys Setting preliminary keymaps...done # test // Here I get back normal characters without changing of tty So I hope all thoose tests are usable. How can I know what keymap is used in a terminal ? Getting that info may be good to know what keymap is used when strange characters appears... At disposal for any tests.
