Works For Me. (TM)

i.e. when I do this:

    loadkeys fr

my keyboard switches to the AZERTY layout.  Hmm, do you really
have to press shift to get the numbers? :)  Now I find the dot
and slash keys, and run `exkeys'.  The keys I press (numbers,
letters, etc) all seem to make `readkey' respond, and in the
third or fourth test (printing characters) I get the weird
symbols from the top line, and appropriate letters from the
letter keys.  The F6 test worked too, as did the number test
(though the nature of those tests is that they do not depend
upon the kernel's keymap).

You *did* say you're using Linux, didn't you?

Ah, maybe you meant X?  I only just thought of that. :/  I don't
know anything about the X keyboard driver.  AFAIK it shouldn't
use the .cfg file though, it should just pass through what the
OS sends to it.
