Probelm with "loadkeys" command.

After installation running:
    #loadkeys fa
to change my layout to persian produces:
    unicode keysym out of range: U+FDFC
    syntax error, unexpected ERROR, expecting NUMBER or LITERAL or PLUS or UNUMBER

I have ran the same command on other installations and there was no problem. What do you think?

Re: Probelm with "loadkeys" command.

Upstream bug, U+F000 and up are not valid codepoints, https://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/kb … 00144.html
Seems to have been added 2002…

I assume "other installations" are not archlinux and those distros have just patched away the problem?
