Hi,

Can you pleas explain in more detail how to create and load a custom keymap. Or
is there a Wiki somewhere that I haven’t found? I want to do this for an
external Bluetooth keyboard with Swedish key layout using the kbdd driver. 

I use Familiar 0.8.2 and Opie on an Ipaq. As I understand this, the keymap fix
works for Qt/Embedded on Familiar not only for OpenZaurus. Do I need to
recompile the kernel with the new keymap or can it be created/loaded dynamically?

I also have another question. What happens with the onscreen keyboard keymapping
when this is changed in the kernel? Will this be remapped also or will it be
mapped as usual?

Thankful for any help.
