I am interested by the answers because I intend to use a bepo keyboard
in a standard basis. For now, I am in the learning stage.
I use awesome v3.4.5. To use the bepo keyboard, I type
~$ setxkbmap fr bepo
See http://bepo.fr/wiki/Installation (I assume you are a french awesome
user...)
To my knowledge, the bepo mapping concerns ONLY the alphanumerical part,
NOT the arrows keys, the numerical keyboard, the
insert-supp-home-end-top-down keys and the function keys. That works
fine for me, so I did not need to remap any keys in my rc.lua .
My rc.lua keybindings :

By the way, could you say me what kind of keyboard do you use ? Do you
purchased a Dvorak one ? and what manufacturer and model ?
Thanks.

Hello I am using a bepo keyboard and I install awesome from ubuntu's
lucid lynx repository. (3.4)
I tried to change the keybinding to fit with my beyboard layout.
Now a lot of my key are just uneffective.
Does anyone know why?
Here is the keybinding part of my file :
