Yeah, there's differences. I'll try with your settings and come back to
you poeple.

Here's mine:


Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"

	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "Protocol" "wskbd"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/wskbd"

EndSection

This is what X -configure gave me (the commented stuff comes from
some tests).

I don't have that, I'm just using GENERIC, and set encoding de.nodead
in my wscons.conf.

I go testing your Keyboard - Inputdevice section now ....

Note: (one powerbutton press later) - don't ctrl+alt+f2 to get into
your console -- at least with my current (old) settings this freezes
the display, no longer reacting on keypresses (not even ctrl+alt+esc
and sync typed blindly ...).

With your InputDevice section X now works fine (same kernel still,
wscons encoding set still). This is not what X -configure outputs
though (see my old section).

Thank you very much!

I don't dare going into the console to test altgr + e :). The two
apostrophes: ` and ´ <-- uhm..
