Re: changing the keyboard from QWERTY to AZERTY

["François PERROT" <francois dot perrot at cgey dot com>]

Hi Arnaud,

Guess this is a typical french problem....
The trick is to remap the keyboard using xmodmap with a keyboard map file as
an argument.
Searching the mailing lists I found an http link to one which worked fine in
local machine
(i.e. starting an xterm on my machine), but I had troubles when launching
xterm on remote machines (symptomes : the number key line does not work
anymore...). I finally found another one, working great everywhere.
