Hi Steve, I've put the vt back (i.e put the original (empty in my case) /boot/loader.conf ) and set the keymap in rc.conf to fr.iso.kbd. Unfortunately this did not work. When trying to type french 'é' nothing happens. When trying to read a french handbook such accent letters are just missing, for example french préférez becomes prfrez.help
