I thought I'd mention that OS X takes an interesting approach to this. When you plug in a keyboard it doesn't recognize, it does a little dance where it tells you to press certain keys (e.g., "Press the key to the right of the left Shift key," with a little graphic to help you understand which key it means) and from the results it infers the layout. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
