Ok, I have edited /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.iso.kbd. I have added
some french characters. It work! BUT only at the prompt without logging
in or has root! I really dont understand why. Else, when I log has a
user, its doing a crazy bell sound or in ircII, its writing letters
without the special accent.
<SCREENSHOT>
f00f$ ee /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/qc.ca.kbd
026 '[' '{' esc esc 'ê' 'Ê' esc esc O
027 ']' '}' gs gs 'ç' 'Ç' gs gs O
039 ';' ':' nop nop 'ï' 'Ï' nop nop O
040 ''' '"' nop nop 'è' 'È' nop nop O
052 '.' '>' nop nop 'ë' 'Ë' nop nop O
053 '/' '?' nop nop 'é' 'É' nop nop O
Another problem is that Xwindows seems to not use syscons's file and to
be independant.
In that way, you simply hold ALT to use the special characters or
alt-shift if its in upper case. The six button are the six right button
near "enter".
