I have added some french characters. It work! BUT only at the prompt without logging in or has root! I really dont understand why. Else, when I log has a user, its doing a crazy bell sound or in ircII, its writing letters without the special accent. f00f$ ee /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/qc.ca.kbd 026 '[' '{' esc esc 'ê' 'Ê' esc esc O 027 ']' '}' gs gs 'ç' 'Ç' gs gs O 039 ';' ':' nop nop 'ï' 'Ï' nop nop O 040 ''' '"' nop nop 'è' 'È' nop nop O 052 '.'

In that way, you simply hold ALT to use the special characters or alt-shift if its in upper case.
