Hello together, und natuerlich speziell alle deutschen User,
sometimes I use the wonderful FreeBSD only on the console, not with X.
Unfortunately several keys don't work right on my german
keyboard. Probably this is the case with all german MF-2 keyboards.
Of course Soren is not to blame since he probably had no german
keyboard at hand.
I studied the source a little and tried to improve. I do not quite
understand the meaning of the spcl and flags columns. Nevertheless
with the following `german.iso' copied in the place
/usr/src/share/syscons/keymaps things get much better:
Please include this (or something better) in the distribution.
