Mikucki" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: X and the Dvorak keyboard Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have decided to learn the Dvorak keyboard and so have 'skritched aww my keycars awound'. I have further set the console (text mode) to use the new layout... but I haven't found the Definitive Right Way to do so in X. Some localizations suggested the use of xmodmap, but warned that applying it more than once will reapply the translation to the Dvorak layout (unquestionably a bad thing). After perusing the mailing lists, archives, handbook, FAQ, and X consortium pages (though the last at somewhat lesser length), I am unable to find an ideal way to do this. How can I, (preferably at the lowest possible level) set my system up to use the Dvorak layout? Any advice or non-null pointers would be appreciated.
