(i have FreeBSD v2.0) the file fr.iso.kbd is missing in 2.0. You must get it from current sources which are available in france at ftp.ibp.fr:/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/syscons/keymaps/fr.iso.kbd 1) get the file and put it in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/ 2) add kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/fr.iso.kbd at the end of your /etc/rc.local file. You need to reboot to enable french mapping. For now just run the command. 3) if you intend to run X, you also need to create a .xmodmaprc in your home directory, containing: keycode 0x0A = ampersand 1 keycode 0x0B = eacute 2 asciitilde keycode 0x0C = quotedbl 3 numbersign keycode 0x0D = apostrophe 4 braceleft keycode 0x0E = parenleft 5 bracketleft keycode 0x0F = minus 6 bar keycode 0x10 = egrave 7 grave keycode 0x11 = underscore 8 backslash keycode 0x12 = ccedilla 9 asciicircum keycode 0x13 = agrave 0 at keycode 0x14 = parenright degree bracketright keycode 0x15 = equal plus braceright keycode 0x71 = Mode_switch clear Mod1 clear Mod5 add Mod1 = Alt_L add Mod5 = Mode_switch Note that `keycode 0x71 = Mode_switch' is for Alt_Gr key. 4) add the line xmodmap .xmodmaprc in your .xinitrc -- ----- ----- Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34392 Montpellier cedex 5 -- France ------------------------------------------------------------------------
