I think the file that you want to look at is if you haven't already is /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet look at some of the other keyboards layouts and copy whats there.
if you add another layout be sure to update the ../xkb/rules/xfree86.lst and .xml file As for the "keys <ae02>" stuff, the "ae02" describes the column and row of the key as it is located on the keyboard, but I cant remember how it works. Hope this helps, I haven't really looked at this stuff in a while Jon On 11/7/05, Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Limited success.... > > I tried messing around with some of the files hinted at in the various links > posted in this thread, with no luck.
