9.4. My keyboard mappings are wrong for my system. How can I fix them?

The kbdcontrol program has an option to load a keyboard map file. Under /usr/share/syscons/keymaps are a number of map files. Choose the one relevant to your system and load it.

            kbdcontrol -l uk.iso
          

Both the /usr/share/syscons/keymaps and the .kbd extension are assumed by kbdcontrol(1).

This can be configured in /etc/sysconfig. See the appropriate comments in tis file.

In 2.0.5R and later, everything related to text fonts, keyboard mapping is in /usr/share/examples/syscons.

The following mappings are currently supported:

• Danish (both ISO and cp865),

• French (ISO only),

• German (both ISO and cp850),

• Russian,

• Swedish (both ISO and cp850),

• U.K. (both ISO and cp850),

• Spain,

• U.S.A. (ISO only),

• Dvorak US.
