# diff gr.map-modified gr.map 102c102 < keycode 56 = Control --- > keycode 29 = Control 142c142 < keycode 29 = Alt --- > keycode 56 = Alt 3) Then restarted /etc/init.d/keymaps (/etc/init.d/keymaps restart) and it worked, ie left ALT and CTRL where swapped (in console F1 to F6) 4) To make it permanent we can then edit /etc/conf.d/keymaps and change the keymap="...." entry to the pathname of our new keymap file. Any comments, before I consider the case solved, are welcome. :-)
