If you want to run X, you also can add a file .xmomaprc in your home directory, containing something like: keycode 0x0A = ampersand 1 keycode 0x0B = eacute 2 asciitilde keycode 0x0C = quotedbl 3 numbersign keycode 0x0D = apostrophe 4 braceleft keycode 0x0E = parenleft 5 bracketleft keycode 0x0F = minus 6 bar keycode 0x10 = egrave 7 grave keycode 0x11 = underscore 8 backslash keycode 0x12 = ccedilla 9 asciicircum keycode 0x13 = agrave 0 at keycode 0x14 = parenright degree bracketright keycode 0x15 = equal plus braceright keycode 0x71 = Mode_switch clear Mod1 clear Mod5 add Mod1 = Alt_L add Mod5 = Mode_switch and add the following in your .xinitrc (for startx) or .xsession (for xdm) xmodmap .xmodmaprc Note that I bought a US keyboard 2 years ago, and don't use the french :-) -------- -------- Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34392 Montpellier cedex 5 -- France ------------------------------------------------------------------------
