Usage
=====
There are some scripts in unicon package for start unicon automatically.
Please check them in scripts directory, run following command to install
these scripts into system start directory.
cd scrpits
sh install.sh
reboot your computer to start unicon.
if you don't want to start unicon at system startup time, run this:
chkconfig unicon off
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to run and config unicon manually, please read the following
instruction.
# install unikey module
insmod unikey
# if gb support
insmod encode-gbk
#insmod encode-gb for GB2312
#if big5 support
insmod encode-big5
#loadunimap direct for unicon, run this for every tty.
loadunimap /usr/lib/unicon/direct.uni
#run unicon to enable input method.
unicon --gb
# you can add these lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# to enable unicon at boot time.
#---------------------------------------
insmod unikey
insmod encode-gb
loadunimap /usr/lib/unicon/direct.uni
# following lines for other fonts
# insmod encode-gbk
# insmod encode-big5
# insmod encode-jis
# insmod encode-kscm
if [ -x /usr/bin/unicon ]; then
echo "Starting Unicon3..."
/usr/bin/unicon --gb >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
#----------------------------------------
If you can not input multi-byte charater in bash
commandline, please edit ~/.inputrc and add following
3 lines, and then login again.
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
If you don't need any input method, use unicon for display
only, you need not have to run unicon command. Just insmod
the unikey.o and encode-*.o then use uniconctrl to switch
to proper encode, it's ok.
example:
insmod unikey
insmod encode-gbk
loadunimap /usr/lib/unicon/direct.uni
uniconctrl --gbk
above lines for GBK display.
uniconctrl is a commandline mode encode switch utility.
uniconcfg is a menu-driven mode encode swith utility.
# any question, please send email to unicon@turbolinux.com.cn
Good Luck!
