i think this keymap is the one from driver/char/defkey.map or something
similar. Will the default kernel keymap become a french one like my keyboard if
i change this file ? how do i test it, is there some way to reload the defaulkt
keymap? some magic key, to use when i misloaded a broken keymap, or something
such? or a /proc/keymap to it ?
