I use a swedish keyboard and took the easy way out to implement this in this microsaurus-thingy - I simply ungzipped P412's /root/lib/keymaps/se.gz to /usr/share/kmap/se.kmap.
Lo and behold - now I can use my se-kbd out in a terminal (åÅäÄöÖ works and shows properly, as do the other se kbd-layout keys), but in an x terminal-emulator - no go!
Seems like the real terminal uses utf8, and the x term emulator uses ascii/ansi.
In the "welcome screen" - startupcommands - åÅäÄöÖ can be entered properly, but in rxvt, just renders ??????.
Your system locale (/usr/lib/locale/?)and Xlocale (/usr/share/X11/locale/?) are correct? Did you have needed files in those directories?
N/A in microsaurus' case, besides, I rarely set my locale corresponding to my keyboard layout - e.g. in Puppy I usually set my locale to en_GB, while my kbd-layout, both in console and in X, is set to "se".
A font used by xterminal is correct?
Yes, that could very well be the case. I tried to change rxvt's font in ~/.Xdefaults, to no avail, though. But, could be the cause of the problem.
Also, Kdrive servers like Xvesa and Xfbdev haven't Xkeyboard extension by default so keyboard setup can be performed with xmodmap only. You should create an Xmodmap file with needed redefinitions then load it with xmodmap utility.
Ah, I'm not so experienced with Xvesa, I could try to install xmodmap from P412, but what kind of kbd redefinition shall I create/look for (a bit confused here, there are compiled kmaps, kmaps, and the nested mappings files, like in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps, /etc/X11/kbd)? Grateful for input here ...
Thanks , I'll be a-treading the x-font and xmodmap paths ...

I'd like to have, at least one free, available tty, apart from the two already in use (tty1, start-up; tty2, x), how to implement this? Or, is this constrained already at compile time?
Yeah, right, I did solve it (sort of
) by inserting
into /init. But, since /etc/inittab isn't read/acted upon, it's not respawned
. Ah, well, I can live with that ...
For now
