yes... but I used AOS tools to find out the keyboard mapping, on the Amiga,
not all keys printable with ie alt are printed on the keys....

I hacked a few amiga keys into some xfree config file (commented out). But a
whole new keymap, should probably go into some package, dunno which, ask on
debian-x? But first, make such a keymap :-)
We'll find a place when the keypmap exists.

BTW, such a map will be useful, even if you decide to use RH, The kernel and
X keymaps should be pretty independent from the linux distribution. Just do
it.
