| mEo | then what? |
| johnfreez | brilliant |
| rohan | mEo: if you have atkbd compiled in the kernel, then it's not a kernel problem |
| johnfreez | lemmi do that |
| mEo | I don't know if i had it compiled for sure, i just use the normal arch one. Just with pacman and stuff |
| odinboy71 | just wondering, whats the the best arch (ark) like i586 distro, im turning an old k6-2 into a home media server, i was thinking maybe slackware |
| johnfreez | shining, menu.1st refers to "initrd26.img" do i need to rename that file, and something inside initrd26.img ? |
| rohan | odinboy71: slackware ? |
| shining | johnfreez: right, and vmlinuz26 I guess |
| mEo | rohan, is there a way i can check? |
| shining | johnfreez: so you need to rename these 2 files, eg by appending -old |
| rohan | mEo: zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i atkbd |
| mEo | CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y bad? in terms of not being the solution |
| rohan | mEo: no, it is the expected result |
| mEo | Dam rohan: so, if that is working, how come my keys are not even being registered :S |
| rohan | mEo: if xev is not giving a symcode, it's damn strange :( |
| johnfreez | thanks very much for you help shining |
| DarkClown | I have a question that might sound stupid, but during installation, which consolefont should I use with a japanese keymap? |
| mEo | neither xev nor dmesg is doing anything :( |
| johnfreez | much obliged |
| mEo | rohan |
| rohan | mEo: that's what surprises me |
| mEo | rohan: is it possible that my keyboard is being initiated wrong in the kernel? :S |
| rohan | after pressing the key, are you positive that dmesg is not showing anything ? |
| mEo | yes i even cleared it |
| rohan | no xev, no dmesg .. sorry, no idea at all :( |
| mEo | what if rohan: what if fnfx was doing something? |
| rohan | mEo: some keys, like brightness control and screen off don't emit keycodes or atkbd messages mEo: but the volume keys must |
| mEo | rohan: my other function keys do work, and the function button+another key does, ie, func+f5 |
| rohan | mEo: then which key does not work ? |
