Hello,

I have a US keyboard but the french one is loaded instead the US. I tape "a" I have a "q" and so on. I have used the following command, as root:

#wsconsctl -w keyboard.encoding=us

I am not familiar with the -w option for wsconsctl. What does it do?

but the keyboard remains a fr one.

Could you please help me with this issue? Could you also tell me what have I to change in order to have always the us keyboard (after a reboot, for example).

Thank you for your help.

Sorry for this simple question, but I am a newbie with this OS.

See also the kbd(8) command. In 3.9 at least, there is a kbd-related
section in /etc/rc:

if [ -f /sbin/kbd -a -f /etc/kbdtype ]; then
       kbd `cat /etc/kbdtype`

This allows you to make the keyboard be changed anytime the system comes
up in multiuser mode (specifically, when rc is run), with the following
as root:

# echo "us" >/etc/kbdtype
