## 8. Keyboard mapping problems with some Esix systems

One of the console driver patches for Esix 4.0.3A causes the XFree86 server's default keymap to be corrupted. If you are being affected by this problem it will be obvious because few (if any) of the keys will be mapped correctly. There are two solutions to this. One is to remove the console driver patch which introduced the problem. The second is to use xmodmap(1) to reset the default mapping after server startup. The default mapping is provided in the file `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std`, and can be installed automatically by adding the line:

> `

>       xmodmap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std

> `

to your `.xinitrc` file (or your `Xsetup` file if using xdm).
