From what I've been able to discern playing around with this stuff is that
there's different keyboard mapping programs for the console and for X. In
fact there's several, perhaps conflicting, programs for X. I've been
wresting with keyboard mapping for awhile and can't get it to work right.
It would be nice if someone from Mandrake support could pick up on some of
these tougher questions.
