That's not the point. The point is that i would need something like XkbSymbols us(pc101)+de+hacks_by_joerg_wunsch there, where the file hacks-by-joerg-wunsch needs to be created somehow from the keyboard description files i've already got for the console driver. Likewise for all other people who are using non-standard layouts, and who do already have description files for their console drivers. Sorry, my direct mail to you bounced twice since the Xconsortium mailer still cannot handle i18n'ed mails. That's a pity. How many of the mailing list stuff do you miss since your mailer is unwilling to finally deliver it to you??? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
