Can't find anything on setting up a correct fr_CA keyboard or keymapping
or switching from en_US --- fr_CA for FreeBSD 7.1 and xorg.
What I have found only set up an incorrect french-someting-or-other
keyboard which almost prevented me from logging in because of a missing
character in the mapping.
I am rather surprised and disappointed that no one has any ideas about
using and/or installing a French-Canadian keyboard on FreeBSD. That is a
terrible bug in FreeBSD and a worse slur on the Québecois (or

Would anyone know of a simple windows manager that supports
French-Canadian keyboard?
Using fr_CA keymapping -
fluxbox is very simple and very nice, but does not support the fr_CA stuff.
This is evident from error messages output when shutting it down. :-(
So, I have to find one that does.

fik ad0 returns:
partitions 1,2,3
