I have used a custom keymap for many years (based a very early issue of a Linux Gazette article) and it works fine until console-tools gets updated. Here's how I do it in .bash_profile echo Loading Custom Keys... loadkeys ~/new-us.map > /dev/null 2>&1 As I use the Num keypad to switch consoles, and notice that they quit working, after an upgrade, all I have to do to get my keypad back is . .bash_profile. Note that I keep my custom keymap in /root so it doesn't get corrupted when updating. HTH=Hope This Helps, YMMV=Your Mileage May Vary, HAND=Have A Nice Day Wayne -- Those who can, do.
