There is always chance to use it with ps2 converter. All new keyboards
are usb in fact, but I add that little plastic in between.

K. Then I have to change nothing.

I don't have this. Should be easy to check out if necessary.

Yep, I assume I would have to change my xmodmaprc to match new layout.
The other part is that fvwm2rc uses that layout to have extra tweaks
for window manager.

I still have something to ponder. To have more than one screen in fvwm,
actually four of them, I ought to turn off numpad first. Then I use com-
bination of Alt-Fx to jump here and there. In bios I removed numpad and
it is not working on the kb, to my wish. Any thought how it goes on HH?

Best regards
