Here comes my modifications for the great iGo Stowaway keyboard with US qwerty layout. You need to install xmodmap first, get it from

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2007/xmodmap/

Explanation of my modifications:

1. Windows key is mapped to "Mode_switch", aka "AltGr". This allows to add new key mappings, especially European characters.

2. CAPS Lock is gone. Who needs it anyway.

3. Tab key is moved downstairs to the former caps lock key.

4. ESCAPE key is now where the Tab key was.

5. German umlauts at AltGr-a, AltGr-o, AltGr-u. Other European characters are easily added accordingly.

6. German ß at AltGr-s

7. Eurosign, Yen and Sterling do not work with the Green-Fn key, added them to the AltGr key.

8. F1 .. F10 are Blue-Fn a ... Blue-Fn ; (second row below numbers)

Here comes the .xmodmaprc
Place it in ~user/.xmodmaprc and run

Code:
xmodmap .xmodmaprc
Unfortunately, when the keyboard is disconnected, the settings disappear too.

You have to run the xmodmap command again when the keyboard connects.
Any hints appreciated how to get rid of this nuisance.

Code:
clear lock
keycode 133 = Mode_switch
keycode 66 = Tab
keysym Tab = Tab ISO_Left_Tab
keycode 23 = Escape
keycode 76 = F10
keysym a = a A adiaeresis
keysym o = o O odiaeresis
keysym u = u U udiaeresis
keysym s = s S ssharp
keysym comma = comma less EuroSign
keysym period = period greater yen
keysym semicolon = semicolon colon sterling
.xmodmaprc
