I installed that but didn't find out how to get it to work.

In /etc/console , I found these 2 files:

file:/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
file:/etc/console/boottime.old.kmap.gz

and the first one is about 2 weeks old, whereas the latter seems to
stem from the original install.
This is strange because I didn't change anything in there, or used any
tool to mess with the console settings. I can only suppose one of the
.debs I might have installed recently must have done it.

I suppose I could just save those files and copy the correct kmap.gz
from /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ (I have an american 104key
keyboard on i386).

But there are many files in there. These look relatively promising:

/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us-intl.iso01.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us-intl.iso15.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us-latin1.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz

Anyone know which one to pick?

Lukas
