I put this in my .bashrc ...
function aoeu() { if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then setxkbmap -layout us; else
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us-latin1.kmap.gz; fi; }
function asdf() { if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then setxkbmap -layout dvorak; else
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/dvorak/dvorak.kmap.gz; fi; }
Substitute dvorak for whatever your preferred "other" keymap.
