This summer I changed my keyboard layout from QWERTY to Dvorak, and I have
been configuring things to work with Dvorak ever since. The console, LILO,
X, and even the seldom-used DOS and Windows 95 were fairly easy to do, but
I had to hack two things: svgalib (for Quake ;^) and the Linux kernel (for
the Magic SysRq key). I think all that's left is the system BIOS, but I'll
leave that alone. ;)
For the kernel, I simply added a configuration option for "Dvorak keyboard
layout" after "Magic SysRq Key" and then wrapped pckbd_sysrq_xlate[] in an
#ifdef block, defining the Dvorak translation table if the option has been
selected or the QWERTY table if it has not. If the option is declined, the
resulting kernel will be in no way different from a stock kernel.
So I provide here my patch, made against 2.1.125; I've used identical code
on 2.1.121 and 2.1.124 previously and have not had any problems with it. I
wouldn't mind seeing it in the official kernel but I don't expect it since
it is something of a niche product (kernel hackers who use Dvorak... can't
be that many of us - or can there?).
You can get my svgalib patch if interested (and some other Dvorak info) at
