Dear John-Mark, thank you so much for your concern!

Hope > this helps! Well as far as the keymap, there has never been one for Korean keymap. I *think* the reason why for that is Korean keyboard shares exactly same keymap with us.kbd map and only uses xim applications such as korean/ko-uim to translate each alphabet input to Korean charactors. But only difference with Korean and us.kbd(US keymap) is those two toggle keys I mentioned in prior (original) message: Hangul(0xF2), Hanja(0xF1). The problem is, since those two keys have unique (but standard in Korean regulations or ISO ) key scancodes, default FreeBSD system/kernel may not detect those. I checked that by using misc/kbdscan program to see if those keys are detected by default system but did not print any keycodes. Also those keys could not even wake the system up when system screen is in powersave mode. So basically I think it's about driver problem rather about keymaps, and that is why I looked up sys/dev/atkbdc/atkbd.c. In short, those two unique keys in Korean keyborad are needed to be recognized by FreeBSD kernel first before we reorganize the keymaps file, to use Korean keyboard in FreeBSD. More detailed informations about scancodes , kernel patch info from linux and other features of those two keys are mentioned in original (prior) post, if anybody needs. Thank you very much again for your concern, and I hope you have a nice day. :~) (Below are original post at -drivers) ============================================================= Hello. I am Lee, Jaeho from South Korea. ( not North lol ) I am trying to ask you about the Korean keyboard support in FreeBSD. The Korean keyborad is featured as below. "The Korean keyboard has two keys, the Korean/Chinese and the Korean/English toggles, that generate scancodes f1 and f2 (respectively) when pressed, and nothing when released. They do not repeat. The keycaps are "hancha" and "han/yong" (written in Hangul). Hancha (hanja) means Chinese character, and Han/Yong is short for Hangul/Yongcha (Korean/English). They are located left and right of the space bar." ( From : http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-9.html ) Basically, on the Korean 103/106 (Korean Government Standard), there are two additional keys as Hangul(scancode of 0xf2) and Hanja(scancode of 0xf1) to the US 101/104 keyborad. and they don't have release signals if they are ps/2 type. USB keborad does have release signals. I tried look in src/sys/dev/atkbdc/atkbd.c and tried to make a patch on my own which I inspired by the patch from the linux kernel : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6642 , but since I am not well experienced yet in freebsd programing so I eventually came to ask for your help. I am ready to give you answers and informations to any kind of questions about Korean keybord specifications or other things related that you might want to know. :) As you can guess, the keyboard support is quite evident and will be really important and helpful to many Korean FreeBSD users. Thank you in advance. :) =========================================================Received on Fri Jul 24 2015 - 06:14:21 UTC
