For LATIN encodings (e.g. ISO8859-1) no conversion is required (the result of the conversion is identical to the file for syscons). You can copy over the file from /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/ to /usr/share/vt/keymaps/, or you can put the full path to the keymap file into rc.conf (or use it on the command line). I think we should have a working solution in the upcoming FreeBSD-10.1. Since the keymaps for LATIN encodings are compatible between syscons and newcons, they could be installed into both places, syscons/keymaps and vt/keymaps. Alternatively, kbdcontrol could use the syscons/keymaps directory as a fallback for keymaps not found in vt/keymaps. This work-around is currently active in -CURRENT, since there are only 3 converted keymap files in vt/keymaps and everybody trying out newcons has the same problem. Regards, STefan
