Don't know about Linux keyboard support

Linux supports any keyboard mapping you like, only limited by the hardware, as one would expect. The KBD Linux keyboard tools are used to set up the keyboard mapping for the console. See the man pages if you want to know more.

X11 is a different beast, it has its own, different mapping mechanism. Of course, you can use your own keyboard mapping. For Xorg, there are a few a good articles in the archlinux wiki (Xorg, XKB, extra keys). Desktop environments like Gnome, KDE, xfce can also influence the keyboard mapping, using the mechanisms embedded in the X11 system.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
