Here is what I did: |
| 9 |
1) chose a keymap file (/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/gr.map.gz in my case) |
| 10 |
2) copied and unzipped it at some location and edited it like so: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# diff gr.map-modified gr.map |
| 13 |
102c102 |
| 14 |
< keycode 56 = Control |
| 15 |
--- |
| 16 |
> keycode 29 = Control |
| 17 |
142c142 |
| 18 |
< keycode 29 = Alt |
| 19 |
--- |
| 20 |
> keycode 56 = Alt |
| 21 |
|

3) Then restarted /etc/init.d/keymaps |
| 23 |
(/etc/init.d/keymaps restart) |
| 24 |
and it worked, ie left ALT and CTRL where swapped (in console F1 to F6) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
4) To make it permanent we can then edit /etc/conf.d/keymaps |
| 27 |
and change the keymap="...." entry to the pathname of our new keymap file. |

Any comments, before I consider the case solved, are welcome. |
