... I have gameflat.xkbd also in /media/mmc2.

How can I make that my default keyboard as well?

Finally, I see that you have a new Dosbox build as of today. Do I need to uninstall your current package or is it okay just to build on top of what's already there?

To make a particular dosbox.conf be the default you can move it to /home/user/.dosboxrc

In your case this would be:
cp /media/mmc2/dosbox.conf /home/user/.dosboxrc

to change your default keyboard, you can overwrite the default keyboard layout file with a different .xkbd definition file

first do a "sudo gainroot" to get root priveleges (or use one of the alternate methods)

then make a backup of the default keyboard layout:
cp /usr/share/xkbd/en_GB.qwerty.xkbd /usr/share/xkbd/en_GB.querty.xkbd.backup

then overwrite the default file
cp /media/mmc2/gameflat.xkbd /usr/share/xkbd/en_GB.qwerty.xkbd

If you installed a dosbox 0.72 .deb from my the link on my site, that's current. The 0.71 is old/bad. Doesn't hurt to reinstall.

p.s. thanks for pasting the link to dawnmists updated keyboard - i had an older version. i'll drop her an email.
p.p.s. please let me know if keyboard problems only happen with nethack, or if you get them with other dos programs
p.p.p.s you do know there's a maemo port of nethack that uses graphics and stuff, right?
