If you do have a /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file, that this is the one. If not, the kernel is compiled with some default kmap. Also those file may be read (not sure for the order): /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz /usr/share/keymaps/defkeymap.map /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map To be sure, you can make a file $HOME/.keymap.kmap and add a line on $HOME/.xsession like that: loadkeys $HOME/.keymap.kmap I see that your AltGr and Alt are inverted. > > Should I simply edit the file to your values and then gzip it again? Or is > there an alternative boottime.kmap.gz to download somewhere? You don't need to use "my values". Put there what you need. I just send you some examples. I can send you all my boottime.kmap.gz file if it helps. In fact it is http://bucovina.chem.tue.nl/tastatura/boottime.kmap_astiq_104.gz, I use it for the specific letters I type, but have a look only at the Console_x lines... For instance alt control keycode 59 = Console_1 control alt keycode 60 = Console_2 control alt keycode 61 = Console_3 control alt keycode 62 = Console_4 control alt keycode 63 = Console_5 control alt keycode 64 = Console_6 control alt keycode 65 = Console_7 control alt keycode 66 = Console_8 control alt keycode 67 = Console_9 control alt keycode 68 = Console_10 control alt keycode 87 = Console_11 control alt keycode 88 = Console_12 will give you access to all consoles with Ctrl-Alt-Fx (x=1-12) and alt keycode 59 = Console_1 alt keycode 60 = Console_2 alt keycode 61 = Console_3 alt keycode 62 = Console_4 alt keycode 63 = Console_5 alt keycode 64 = Console_6 alt keycode 65 = Console_7 alt keycode 66 = Console_8 alt keycode 67 = Console_9 alt keycode 68 = Console_10 alt keycode 87 = Console_11 alt keycode 88 = Console_12 will give you access to all consoles with Alt-Fx (x=1-12). Just make sure the Alt and AltGr are not changed: keycode 29 = Control keycode 56 = Alt keycode 58 = Caps_Lock keycode 97 = Control keycode 100 = Alt keycode 125 = AltGr keycode 126 = AltGr > > Also /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz does not seem to belong to any package. > It used to comes with the console package-tools, I think. I am not sure. Regards, Ionel
