Who really uses the console any more? :-)
There's at least three ways to get Dvorak layout using X.
1) xmodmap. I bet there's a FAQ somewhere with a Dvorak .modmap
2) Toolkit translations. I've appended an xterm sample to the end. Use
F9 and F10 to toggle between Dvorak and normal.
3) Use xkb. Get X11R6.1 (which is XFree86 3.1.2C) or XFree86 3.1.2D
beta. Get the whole thing! Make sure you use the new XF86Config file
and in the keyboard section change the line:
XkbSymbols "symbols/us(pc101)"
to
XkbSymbols "symbols/us(pc101)+dvorak"
