I realize that 2.6 has finally been made stable, and am planning on moving over soon, but in the meantime, my keyboard mappings suddenly went crazy. Kernel is 2.4.32-sparc-r4
Actually, it's a bit weirder than that, this is a computer I rarely check on, and I logged in and I started getting random segmentation faults. ls worked, but df and more, to give two examples, crapped out. I rebooted, and that seemed to solve the problem, but my keyboard mappings were completely off.
During boot if I press buttons the correct character appears until it gets to the "Loading key mappings" part, after which they become wrong.
Thankfully I can still SSH in and work, so I'm not completely screwed, but I would like to figure out what is going wrong.
I've used gentoo (and linux in general) for a few years now, but am still not sure where exactly these preferences are stored. The only two lines in my rc.conf are UNICODE="no" and EDITOR="/usr/bin/nano", if you need anything else, just ask.
Thanks. |
