Uups. The files and configs work perfectly here! You do have a i386
and german keyboard layout do you?
Anyway, it is definitely impossible to corrupt a system with these
keyboard configurations. So don't panic!!!
Login as root and do the following steps:
Delete the files ~./lat0-16.psf, ~/.Xresources,
~/.Xmodmap and /etc/X11/Xmodmap.
Remove the entry for 'consolechars -f lat0-16.psf' that you added to your
~/.bash_profile.
Copy /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1.kmap.gz to
/etc/kbd/default.map.gz.
Run install-keymap /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1.kmap.gz'.
Reboot.
Everything should be o.k. now. If it isn't you did something weird
that was not said in the install instructions!
Best luck,
Guenter
