Qole,

Small oddity. My remapping of the sterling, euro and cursor keys while working fine in Hildon are not fully functional in easy debian -- the cursor key remaps do not work, ie., Fn-Up, etc. I think I'll play with xbindkeys to try to get more reliable key remapping for easy debian.

Edit 1/30/09: Though, these PC_FN_LEVEL2 mappings work fine for Maemo, it turns out they are accessible on Easy Debian by shifting the Cursor keys... and not via Fn as they should. Wonder why?

Playing anew with xev / xmodmap under Easy Debian, I discovered that it is possible to get functional FOUR_LEVEL mappings. As a test, I did:

Code:
xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "keysym period = period colon question questiondown"
and the 4th level character ("¿") is actually available by pressing both Fn + shift simultaneously!

With this working, it should be possible to develop more flexible keyboard maps for use within the Easy Debian environment.

FOUR_LEVEL key mappings should work also in the rx51 keyboard configuration file for Maemo... but other than for characters that have a shifted state, I can't get them to work!

Xmodmap for Fremantle still doesn't work with the PR1.1 update. Something is broken with the keyboard remapping API that xmodmap uses with Fremantle's X11 server. Please vote on the open bug.
