Thanx, that did really help and now it works!! I can switch to console with ctrl-alt-Fx and everything and every key is mapped right except £ and # plus that I can't find @ somewhere. The strangest thing is that I didn't change your settings because I don't know if I should use "se" "sv" or "s" for the swedish layout. Seems like the swedish letters "å" "ä" and "ö" get right anyway, at least when I run xev. But, if someone can tell me if its se, sv or s I should use I would be grateful, that might solve the wrong positions of those keys. However, I do remember that I could never find @ when I ran potato either.... Then there's only one more thing to find out the reason for... I ALWAYS get an X on a 1024x768 screen at 87 hz wich looks a little crappy. And I have to boot with virge:640x480-16 to be able to get a 16-bit display or virge:640x480-8 to get an 8-bit one... I have NO idea why that is.. doesn't matter if I use -- -bpp ZZ, -- -depth ZZ or both, it still turn out wrong. There's got to be some kind of setting somewhere that I have no clue to where it can be. Then there's this switching between screenmodes... if it's supposed to work I don't know, but it doesn't for me. Was it "alt & +" or "alt & -"?
