There is a bug in kbd-&kbd-version; which causes loadkeys -d to behave incorrectly. To fix this, unpack the kbd-&kbd-patch-version; patch and apply it with the following command: patch -Np1 -i ../kbd-&kbd-patch-version;.patch Install Kbd by running the following commands: ./configure && make && make install When using the loadkeys program from this package, don't use the -d option to load a default keymap file. It won't work properly with keymaps that include other keymaps.
