When booting 2.6.0-test4 with sisfb (630) and FB-console built-in, it appears that I have no sfm defined by default. consolechars -U generates an empty file. This makes my braille display driver daemon very unhappy, and all the characters on the screen are shown as question marks on my braille display. I found out that if I export the sfm of my 2.4.20 machine and consolechars -u that file under 2.6.0-test4, BRLTTY seems to be happy again. Can anyone explain 1.: Is it a bug that upon boot with console fb, there is no default sfm? 2.: If not, how can I convince the kernel to provide a default sfm, without having to load one from user-space? P.S.: I am not subscribed, so please CC me. -- CYa, Mario - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
