Wooooooo :)

 X is up, keyboard in French, Paradise !!!

 Can you provide us the kernel conf file so that I try to recompile for
 current source tree - my U10 still hangs on pkgsrc compilation :(

 Anyway, thanks for the ** EXCELLENT ** job !

Cheers,

> That's the keyboard code - still a sore spot but nothing I've been working on and I never tried to load different keymaps. I'm pretty sure if this selects a compiled-in keymap, I guess the code is just not there yet - I'll have a look. Modifying the keymap using wsconsctl -w map... should still work though.

> Use X or XFree86 to start only the Xserver ( ctrl-alt-backspace terminates it, make sure X points at XFree86! ) or startx to bring up whatever your .xinitrc ( or the system default - twm ) defines.
