I have several computers with the traditional ctrl-next-to-A layout, and an increasing number with the bogus but IBM-mandated ctrl-lost-somewhere-down-next-to-the-space-bar layout, some of which are laptops so that I cannot just use an alternate keyboard. There *must* be a way to swap these keys in a way that will work with the standard console as well as with X windows. Could someone please tell me how to do it? (A compile time flag would be fine, a sysctl variable even better, an ioctl on the kbd device would be best.) -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
