g-i is affected by [1]: when selecting the French keymap
("/usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin9.kmap.gz" which you can find
in [2]) shift key is not working (caps lock not working either).

If you try and switch to (textual) VT2 it's working.
I noticed that when loading the keymap using the graphical frontend,
you get the following warnings:

INFO: kbd_chooser: setting keymap fr-latin9
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 cedilla
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 acute
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 diaeresis
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 brokenbar
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 threequarters
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 currency
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 onehalf
WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 onequarter


and those are printed only if kbd_mode is different from "3" (K_UNICODE, from 
<linux/kd.h>); using some
extra logs I noticed that kbd_mode is "2" (K_MEDIUMRAW) when running the 
graphical frontend

any hints for fixing this (apart from using workarounds)?

thanx in advance,
Davide
