56 | ||
57 | <para>The <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> file | |
58 | configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping | |
59 | and console font.</para> | |
60 | ||
61 | <para>The basic file format of the | |
ee486472 LP |
62 | <filename>vconsole.conf</filename> is a |
63 | newline-separated list environment-like | |
64 | shell-compatible variable assignments. It is possible | |
65 | to source the configuration from shell scripts, | |
66 | however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell | |
67 | features are supported, allowing applications to read | |
68 | the file without implementing a shell compatible | |
69 | execution engine.</para> | |

72 | <varname>vconsole.keymap=</varname>, | |
73 | <varname>vconsole.keymap.toggle=</varname>, | |

75 | <varname>vconsole.font.map=</varname>, | |
ee486472 | 76 | <varname>vconsole.font.unimap=</varname> may be used |
eeca220b LP |
77 | to override the console settings at boot.</para> |
78 | ||
79 | <para>Depending on the operating system other | |
80 | configuration files might be checked for configuration | |
81 | of the virtual console as well, however only as | |
82 | fallback.</para> | |
