This works while logged in on the console but one when running X. Not sure it's really a problem but the error message is not exactly great.
Comment 2 Michal Suchanek 2023-02-28 09:51:20 UTC 
loadkeys requires the -u option when operating on /dev/tty0 (which is the default console device used when stdin is not a console) but on /dev/tty1 it's the default.

Can /dev/tty0 by also switched to unicode?

kbd_mode -fu /dev/tty0

does it but I do not see where that happens for tty1
Comment 3 Simon Lees 2023-03-20 07:11:35 UTC 
I'll take a look
Comment 4 Michal Suchanek 2023-03-20 10:35:37 UTC 
SDL does

kbd->console_fd = open("/dev/tty", O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
ioctl(kbd->console_fd, KDSKBMODE, K_OFF);

but that's different device from /dev/tty0

And 

kbd_mode -fu /dev/tty0 

seems to undo it.

after kbd_mode -fu /dev/tty0 keyloads works as normal, at least on my RPi4 Tumbelweed.
Comment 6 Michal Suchanek 2023-11-27 18:21:11 UTC 
SDL has been updated, need to look what they do in current git.
