I have a Spanish keyboard, but when I tried hooking it up, didn't
get what was on keys.
there is no problems to have different encodings on two keyboards.
the following command will change the encoding on the second one.
wsconsctl -f /dev/wskbd1 keyboard.encoding=es
-moj
I tried kbd, that was unsuccesful. Even after rebooting with spanish
keyboard only.
wsconsctl -f /dev/wskbd1 keyboard.encoding=es sort of works, but
things are not matching keyboard completely, still, I get many useful
characters.
Not working in all apps though.
Also is messing up kbd0.
I also got a recommendation to use setxkbmap, but I'm going to have to
see what I can search for to use that, man page was not helpful.

I'm going to have to give my vote to setxkbmap es
Simple and easy to change. The markings on the keyboard don't really
match exactly, but I figured out how to get everything I need to work.
Still fails to work right in a few places like xterm, but works right in
vi, etc so I can now edit in spanish.
Good enough for me!
Thanks all,
Chris Bennett
