This is my first post here.
Meanie- amazing job. I got a SL-C3000 three weeks after it was launched and it has never been more than a toy until now. I've tried every distro except OpenBSD. Now it's a proper lil linux laptop!!! Terrific.

Keyboard. I'm a Dvorak touch typist (I'm OLD- built my first micro-computer (Altair) in 1976). Have a small usb keyboard, A Jetion I got in Singapore.
How do I remap the external keyboard to Dvorak? You mention that it'll remap when the USB is plugged in. What file will it go looking for?

Thanks a million

the keyboard mapping i am still working on.
what should be happening once it is done, the correct usbkbd.o module is loaded when the keyboard is plugged in. currently my tiny usb keyboard refuses to work but my generic 104 key ps2 keyboard plugged in via a usb2ps2 adaptor seems to be working with only one dead key so far (i only mapped the main keyboard but not the keys on the right hand side where the keypad is and the home key, etc since my tiny usb keyboard does not have those keys anyway)
so the usbkbd.o module might change in the new upcoming hdimage.
also, the hotplug subsystem will execute the keybdev script which will turn the auto repeat off and remap the keys, ie in summary it will run the following two commands:
xset r off
xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/usb.xmodmap
the usb.xmodmap would be where the keys will be mappped. i am still working on a map for qwerty and might decide to give it a diffrent name such as usb-en-101.xmodmap

Thanks. Let us know when the keymapping's done. Could I hack the xmodmap to a Dvorak layout?
