That is possible, The console and X use different configuration methods. A quick search showed that for the console you should edit /etc/vconsole to include: KEYMAP="dvorak" Since this file is read by systemd, it's probably best to reboot and then try again. >> Just to be sure: you do realise that the password shown in /etc/shadow >> is the encrypted password and not the literal string to type in? >> (no offence). >> > > Using 'less' to access the file, the password is visible as literal text. Ok, i guess that's possible. Quite rare, though. mvg, Guus
