I think that its enought to turn off UNICODE in /etc/rc.conf to restore |
| 11 |
previous behaviour (2006.1 has it turned on by default). With it |
| 12 |
terminal is set to unicode and that causes problems I suppose. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Locale (C as default) and translation shouldn't be required. If you want |
| 15 |
to have proper frames displaying with unicode do the following: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
UNICODE=yes in /etc/rc.conf |
| 18 |
CONSOLEFONT="LatArCyrHeb-16" in /etc/conf.d/consolefont |
| 19 |
drdos8x16 migth do the trick as well |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
for latin1: |
| 22 |
LC_[ALL|CTYPE]=en_US.UTF-8 (or any other language) in /etc/env.d/02locale |
| 23 |
you need to add this locale to /etc/locale.gen and regenerate |
| 24 |
locales with locale-gen |
| 25 |
CONSOLETRANSLATION=8859-1_to_UNI in /etc/conf.d/consolefont |
| 26 |
DUMPKEYS_CHARSET="iso-8859-1" in /etc/conf.d/keymaps |
| 27 |
for latin2: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
LC_[ALL|CTYPE]=pl_PL.UTF-8 (same trick as above, and pl_PL is in my case) |
| 30 |
CONSOLETRANSLATION=8859-2_to_UNI in /etc/conf.d/consolefont |
| 31 |
DUMPKEYS_CHARSET="iso-8859-2" in /etc/conf.d/keymaps |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Reboot might be required, dont know if its enough to restart consolefont |
| 34 |
and keymaps services. |
| 35 |

| 36 |
Make sure you have mc compiled with unicode and slang USE. This way you |
| 37 |
should have properly configured unicode console support (as for some |
| 38 |
reason 2006.1 tends to set). Beware though that not all applications |
| 39 |
work properly with it. Mc and vim f.e. does. |
