Hello,

The configuration for tty's is somewhere else (not sure where though, in another distro
it was somewhere under /etc, /etc/console or such, in Ubuntu we would have to "grep -R"
for it, supposing it is under /etc and not under /var, /var/lib somewhere...

If it fails with the "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" command then the gui
application is probably not the guilty, but something under, in some Xorg part. (In
12.04, using this method and choosing "fr_FR" with "variant" which corresponds to "oss"
does what I need).

Would you remind me which one is your exact configuration language mapping and variant
chosen?
