I'm using dvorak layout on console and on X.

On X I use custom xmodmap to get C$C6 -letters.

On console I have "keyboard.encoding=us.dvorak" on
/etc/wsconsctl.conf.

One downside is that it doesn't work straight with my
USB-keyboard and I need to manually load dvorak with
"sudo kbd us.dvorak" and it works just fine after that.

I'm using -current branch but it did work on 4.3-release
too. I didn't choose dvorak on installation but added it
later.

Are you directly connected to server with your keyboard
etc or do you take remote connection to it?

I still have no success trying all the advice given to me. Dvorak is still not functional. Anything else I should look into? Please note, I'm trying to get this to work on the console. This being a server, I don't have X running. Below is what I tried:

wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=us.dvorak
   keyboard.encoding -> us.dvorak

the line above is how my OpenBSD 4.3 server responded but asdf jkl; still produces asdf jkl;

/etc/kbdtype
   us.dvorak

and I rebooted, still asdf jkl; produces asdf jkl;

I even tried this before I sent my original post:

wsconsctl.conf
  keyboard.encoding=us.dvorak

and I rebooted, but still asdf jkl; produces asdf jkl;

The one thing I did not try is selecting us.dvorak when installing OpenBSD but I don't want to recreate my server at this point in time for a dvorak layout. But believe me, I'll definitely try it the next time I install OpenBSD.

Please, anything else I should look into? For those who responded, I appreciate the help. Don't be offended about my next question. For those who have dvorak running, is it on an OpenBSD 4.3 release-- not stable? I generally try to keep my OpenBSD installations as default as possible--except dvorak if I can get it running.
