I spend some time on working this out. Here are the results:
I'm using the following keymap file:
# german.iso.kbd
# alt
# scan cntrl alt alt cntrl lock
# code base shift cntrl shift alt shift cntrl shift state

This will:
- send 'META' for the left alt key
- send 'del' for the backspace key (which is expected by Emacs)
- define the keys for switching the virtual consoles to 'CTRL-F1'
'CTRL-F2' ... 'ALT-F1' won't work anymore. I'm not sure if this
can be changed.
If the backspace key doesn't work with the keymap, check the terminal
settings. There is probably a line like 'stty erase ^H' in some
startup fil (it is in 2.1.5-RELEASE). Remove the line to get the backspace
key working.
To enable german umlauts in emacs, use the following terminal init file.
It should go into the term directory within the elisp dir and the name must
be cons25.el:
;;; cons25.el --- define cons25 setup for FreeBSD
;; ISO 8859 Latin-1 characters are default
(standard-display-european 1)
;; Allow input for those characters
(set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
(nth 1 (current-input-mode))
0)
;;; cons25.el ends here
That's my setup and it works on the console. I'm not sure what will
happen with XFree86 since I'm not running a graphical interface.
I hope this helps,
Stefan
