Generated XF86Config are not XFbdev friendly anyway, i guess no m68k or ppc user uses them. Even the stupid XF86Config checker of xdm says my valid fbdev XF86Config is bad, i had to hand remove them. Also notice that the standard m68k/ppc fbdev XF86Config has the XKBDisable flag set, i think. > Sven LUTHER writes: > > On the french keymap, the @ and # are mapped to the shifted * and - of the > > keypad, i think.

Works fine for both X an console. every so often i have to hard reboot, because some stupid program suppose i have a standard us i386 keymap, and set it to it. the kbd package should avoid that, it's bad for harddisks, ...
