You can check by running kbdmap from the console... If you look at /usr/share/syscons/keymaps (older syscons), or /usr/share/vt/keymaps (current vt, which supports UTF-8 fonts and more), you can define your own keyboard map... It could be that I'm missing what you're trying to do... Hope this helps! -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
