Questions about locale creation



Hi

Can you point me to a good ressource where everything about
locales/charsets/keyboardmodes/etc is explained.
-I mean introductory things about how charmaps/keyboardsettings/locales
relate to each other, and how to properly create them.
And epecially for locales, how to properly include new locales in a
Debian system.
Currently I've done the following: copied my locale file to
/usr/share/i18n/locales and added the name to /etc/local.gen
(as dpkg-reconfigure locale doesn't show me my own locale).
But there are lots of other questions left, like:
-is everything in X, on
plain VTs UTF8 (charmaps/keyboard modes, etc.)
-is my locale file set up correctly
-and correctly integradet to debian (which it is obviously not, as
dpkg-reconfigure doesn't recognize it)
-What's the different betwenn libc locales and X locales and is the
stuff I did for both? (-> At least X always complain that:
"Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C".

And what are the different locale.alias files for (one in /etc and also
in some other locations).

Lots of thanks,
Chris.
