SETXKEYMAP(1)           Silicon Graphics            SETXKEYMAP(1)



     NAME
          setxkeymap - set the keyboard map using a compiled keymap
          file

     SYNOPSIS
          setxkeymap [-t] keymap file

     DESCRIPTION
          The setxkeymap command maps all of the keys on the keyboard
          to use the layout specified in a keymap file;  keymap files
          normally have a .xkm extension.  The directory
          /usr/lib/X11/input/PC contains about a dozen keymaps for the
          Indy and Indigo^2, while /usr/lib/X11/input/SGI contains
          keymaps for all older machines.  In IRIX5.1 and later, the
          directory /var/X11/input is symbolically linked to the
          appropriate machine dependent directory.

          If the specified keymap file is not found, setxkeymap tries
          adding the file with the same name with or without the .xkm
          extension.  For example, the command:  setxkeymap DEU first
          looks for a file named "DEU" in the current directory, then
          looks for "DEU.xkm" in the current directory.  If both
          attempts fail, it looks for "DEU" and "DEU.xkm" in
          /var/X11/input.

          The -t option turns on debugging output.  If this option is
          specified, setxkeymap prints modmap input to stdout instead
          of invoking xmodmap to update the keyboard layout.
