How does that kind of setup work?  What does it look like?

It'll be a cold day in H___ before I learn what I need to know from
keymap (5) and kbdcontrol.  keymap (5) as is normal for man pages, is
devoid of usefull examples.  The one given does not fulfill the term
usefull:

o      For example, consider the following extract from a kbdmap:
o 
o   041   dgra   172    nop    nop    '|'    '|'    nop    nop     O
o   dgra  '`'  ( 'a' 224 ) ( 'A' 192 ) ( 'e' 232 ) ( 'E' 200 )
o              ( 'i' 236 ) ( 'I' 204 ) ( 'o' 242 ) ( 'O' 210 )
o              ( 'u' 249 ) ( 'U' 217 )

When I type `kbdcontrol -d' to see the current keymap I get:

   kbdcontrol -d
   kbdcontrol: getting keymap: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Doing it as root doesn't help.
