>Originator:     Seppo Kallio
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP i386
>Organization:
U of Jyvaskyla, CC
>Environment:
	XFree86
>Description:

	I have in /etc/sysconfig 
	keymap=swedish.iso
	font8x16=iso-8x16
	font8x14=iso-8x14
	font8x8=iso-8x8

	On console screens all seems to be OK but in XFree86 312 the keys
	
	keycode 34 (aring Aring)
	keycode 48 (adiaeresis Adiaeresis)
	keycode 47 (odiaeresis Odiaeresis)

	are sending DOS, not iso code.
	Seems as not all of the keymap is not "sent" to XFree86:
	On Console they are OK, on XFree I have to add these keys
 	using xmodmap.

	This is a big problem, because xmodmap cannot be used with
  	xdm when for example logging from xdm chooser to another host.

	So FreeBSD+XFree86 workstations cannot be used as X terminals here.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Define the keymap + fonts and compare keycode translation on
	console and XFree86

>Fix:
	
	This can only partially fixed using xmodmap

Somehow got mis-filed to gnats-admin. I have a feeling this really isn't 
a FreeBSD problem.

Hmm, must be a problem in XFree86. THeir new verison have a new 
mothod of getting/setting the keymap, they dont use the hints 
provided by syscons :(
