I think that in the end console-setup uses the definitions in /etc/default/console-setup, which have a syntax similar to the keyboard section in xorg.conf, e.g. XKBMODEL="" XKBLAYOUT="es" XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch" Can you achieve your custom keyboard layout like that? (The above works for me, but I never tried any fancy stuff with console-setup's keyboard layouts.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
