setting dvorak

loadkeys dvorak/dvorak

To make this change permanent, set

KEYMAP=dvorak/dvorak

in /etc/rc.conf.

To convert to dvorak in X, type

setxkbmap dvorak

To make this change permanent, set

Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"

in the keyboard "InputDevice" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

If you are using the input hotplugging (evdev) you'll need to make the following changes:

cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

Edit the resulting file and update the input.xkb.variant entry to look like:

dvorak

Lastly you'll need to set the keyboard model to evdev

setxkbmap -model evdev
