/etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh --> ../init.d/console-screen.sh
I added the 2 following lines to /etc/console-tools/remap:
s/keycode 125 =/keycode 125 = Control/;
s/keycode 127 =/keycode 127 = Control/;
then ran `/etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh restart`
this assigned Control to L & R windows keys
from /etc/inittab:
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
from /etc/init.d/rcS:
for i in /etc/rcS.d/S??*
do case "$i" in
*.sh) # Source shell script for speed.
( trap - INT QUIT TSTP
set start
. $i
)
;;
*) # No sh extension, so fork subprocess.
$i start
;;
esac
done
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> set start; . /etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh
this also worked
I rebooted and the assignments in /etc/console-tools/remap were applied,
so I'm not sure why yours would not. Since it's sourced,
/etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh doesn't need to be executable, likewise
/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh or /etc/console-tools/remap.
I'd suggest using od to be sure you don't have a tab instead of a space
in /etc/console-tools/remap.
HTH,
Mike
