I don't want to have to try to parse a keymap to tell what it is. And, as I said previously, nobody really uses the console, right? :-) X has it's own way to load specific keymaps. I'm not opposed to having the X server DTRT based on what the console driver has loaded, e.g. see the X server sources for the Xdec and Xsun servers in R6.1, but we need better support from the OS to do it. (BTW, in 2.1.0R: %kbdcontrol -d > /tmp/keymap getting keymap: Inappropriate ioctl for device Any thoughts?) -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
