VCONSOLE.CONF(5)		 vconsole.conf		      VCONSOLE.CONF(5)

NAME
       vconsole.conf - Configuration file for the virtual console

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/vconsole.conf

DESCRIPTION
       The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the virtual console, i.e.
       keyboard mapping and console font. It is applied at boot by systemd-
       vconsole-setup.service(8).

       The basic file format of the vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list
       of environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
       possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however,
       beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
       allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell
       compatible execution engine.

       Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=,
       vconsole.keymap.toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font.map=,
       vconsole.font.unimap= may be used to override the console settings at
       boot.

       Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be
       checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, however only
       as fallback.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
	   Configures the key mapping table for the keyboard.  KEYMAP=
	   defaults to "us" if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to
	   configure a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.

       FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
	   Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font
	   map.

EXAMPLE
       Example 1. German keyboard and console

       /etc/vconsole.conf:

	   KEYMAP=de-latin1
	   FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
