That is how it looks on my system as well. So I learned that: - the file belongs to keyboard-configuration - setupcon(1) reads it (perhaps indirectly) I guess that is where I lost track for a few hours, because setupcon is in another package, and its man page was a bit of a dead end apart from the reference to the README. (BTW, my immediate problem was to get my own keymap in X11. I solved it by bringing in my old Lenny xorg.conf and disabling the three xorg.conf settings which cause the keyboard settings there to be ignored. I may later try to enter it in /etc/default/keyboard too, but I use the console only in emergencies, and then a standard US keyboard mapping is completely acceptable to me.) /Jorgen -- // Jörgen Grahn | mot du jour: om man säjer - \X/ <gr...@snipabacken.se> | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
