Basically, Im using an Apple USB keyboard on an amd64 box. The "Option" key (which has the word "Alt" written above it) does not function as an ALT key at all (even on the console it doesn't work). So this tells me that I need to set my keyboard map in the console and get that working first (hopefully, the key will work in X too when I solve this). Of course, I could just use a "regular" PC keyboard (though this Apple keyboard was a spare I had lying around and Ive grown fond of it). So... how do we play with the keyboard mapping in the console? -- A -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
