The keyboard mapping in the kernel is getting correpted when I use X Windows
Version 11 Release 6 Xenocara.  I am using a Microsoft(R) Digital Media
Keyboard 3000.  How do I map the extra keys? and would it help if I used
machdep.allowaperture=1 instead of 2?  Also kbd can change the keyboard
mapping as a regular user, but it cannot list the available keyboard mappings
without being r00t, and it doesn't take effect until I log out and back in to
X-Windows. Why is this, and how do I type diacritical marks like circumflex
carets and other accents, umlauts, ruotsalainen o, etc. in OpenBSD?
