It must default to us then? - Grant As far as I am informed the keymaps init script sets the console keymap to the value of the KEYMAP variable.

Re: [gentoo-user] Keymap for Spanish laptop
I changed /etc/conf.d/keymap to: KEYMAP=es and rebooted but the keymap behavior doesn't seem to have changed. The keymap where? The keymap on the console should be es after the above change. To change it in X too, use Option XkbLayout es in xorg.conf, or set it with 'setxkbmap es' from the commandline. Or set it using the KDE or Gnome Control Center. Thanks, that worked perfectly. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
