[gNewSense-users] [Virtual Terminal] Changing the keyboard layout.

[r. siddharth]

Howdy everyone,

I wanted to change the keyboard layout of the virtual terminal to Dvorak.

I found that the 'loadkeys dvorak' command at command line does change 
the layout to Dvorak, therefore I added this command to the 
/etc/rc.local file ( the commented part of this file says "This script 
is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.").

Now every time my computer starts, the rc.local is executed and the 
virtual terminal's layout is set to Dvorak. Perfect, everything works 
fine. But, I don't really know if this is the right way to change the 
layout of the virtual terminal. Is there a better way to change the 
layout of the virtual terminal ?. Please let me know and thanks for your 
help.

postscript:
I am writing a page (website documentation) on Dvorak, this page will 
have details on how to change the layout to Dvorak in gNewSense. 
Therefore, your answer will definitely influence what will go into the 
documentation.
