I needed to have the Backspace key map to ^?, instead of the normal ^H, so I copied /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us-iso.kbd to local.kbd and found the line that had a bunch of del's and bs's on it, and switched the del's to bs's, and the bs's to del's. When I loaded this keymap with kbdcontrol, I noticed that the numeric pad enter key seemed to get mapped to "goto virtual terminal /dev/ttyv2". I looked closer at the file, and figured out that scr?? specified which keys switched virtual terminals, but I couldn't figure out which key was the numeric pad enter key. I looked in keyboard(4), but couldn't pick out anything useful, and in the FAQ (/usr/share/FAQ/...) and the handbook, but those files only said that you could load up one of the keyboard maps there, but not how to costomize them. I also browsed /sys/i386/i386/cons.[hc], and related files, but could't come up with anything useful there either. I know I could just change random lines, and hope that I don't mess the keyboard up so bad that I need to somehow reboot (I also changed the 'boots' to whatever was the predominate definition on the line, to disable the CTRL-ALT-DELETE reboot). So, my question is: What is the key number for the numeric pad enter key? (or more usefully, where can I find a table of which keys map to what)? -- Zach Heilig | If this was a virus, zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com | you would be dead now.
