How does that kind of setup work? What does it look like? It'll be a cold day in H___ before I learn what I need to know from keymap (5) and kbdcontrol. keymap (5) as is normal for man pages, is devoid of usefull examples. The one given does not fulfill the term usefull: o For example, consider the following extract from a kbdmap: o o 041 dgra 172 nop nop '|' '|' nop nop O o dgra '`' ( 'a' 224 ) ( 'A' 192 ) ( 'e' 232 ) ( 'E' 200 ) o ( 'i' 236 ) ( 'I' 204 ) ( 'o' 242 ) ( 'O' 210 ) o ( 'u' 249 ) ( 'U' 217 ) When I type `kbdcontrol -d' to see the current keymap I get: kbdcontrol -d kbdcontrol: getting keymap: Inappropriate ioctl for device Doing it as root doesn't help.
