Hello,
  I've found that compose table in /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz contains 
strange symbols 0x255 as result of each compose line, as described in 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10143. I try to change my initial 
console map to my own file, but after rebooting dumpkeys still return 0x255 as 
composed characters. Does it mean that lenny kernel doesn't contain patch from 
kernel bug 10143? No, it seems this patch is implemented.
  I think that loadkeys has to set map and then dumpkeys has to return same (or 
similar) map back. Any idea why some composed characters are rewritten?

Pavel
