FreeBSD 3
Following on from my previous post which discussed changing the X11 keyboard layout. I had to also change the console layout.
This can be undertaken through editing the appropriate configuration files or with a tool called bsdconfig which needs to be run as root.
The online man page can be found here
This is a menu driven / text based interface. I can't, as yet provide a screen shot, but the man page is comprehensive enough so a screenshot isn't really needed.
To change the keyboard map you will need to find the appropriate section and make the changes.
#bsd, #config, #menu, #settings, #configuration, #tool, #freebsd, #keyboard, #layout, #gb.

FreeBSD 2
Following on from my previous post. I have been working on fixing the keyboard mapping issue.
Again, after asking for some help on this from IRC, I was given an example configuration file to work from.
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
From this I have created a new X11 keyboard configuration file for the UK / GB keyboard layout. This now works, so at least pressing shift 2 gives “ and not @ which would happen on a US keyboard and was happening previously.
Now this is working, it is a little easier to play nethack as @ turns auto pickups off, which is very helpful when you don't want to pick up everything you come across.
#freebsd, #x11, #keyboard, #layout, #configuration, #irc, #nethack
