As indicated by the "~/.Xmodmap", I do use X. Curiously, $ dpkg -L console-data # told me that console-data was not installed. After an "apt-get update" and install of console-data, I tried "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" a couple of times, in turn trying US and British keyboards, but neither fixed the scrambled keys. I see now that "|" gives "~" in addition to the miscoding described above, which remains constant for all maps tried so far. If there's some way to guess what map a Logitech wireless keyboard needs, it'd be really useful. Here in Australia, keyboards tend to be US or maybe US-international, whatever that is. (Found in the full list, option 4 in "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" dialogue) Erik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
