I few days ago I posted a request for help concerning G. Irlam's
virtual consoles. Well Gordon himself provided me with a fix. It's
given below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got the sources now.  Find load_keyboard in keyboard.c, and try changing

        switch (scan_code) {
                case STANDARD_SCAN:     keyboard_type = IBM_PC;         break;
                case OLIVETTI_SCAN:     keyboard_type = OLIVETTI;       break;
                case DUTCH_EXT_SCAN:    keyboard_type = DUTCH_EXT;      break;
                case US_EXT_SCAN:       keyboard_type = US_EXT;         break;
        }

to

        switch (scan_code) {
                case STANDARD_SCAN:     keyboard_type = IBM_PC;         break;
                case OLIVETTI_SCAN:     keyboard_type = OLIVETTI;       break;
                case DUTCH_EXT_SCAN:    keyboard_type = DUTCH_EXT;      break;
                case US_EXT_SCAN:
		default:	        keyboard_type = US_EXT;         break;
        }

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem stemmed from the fact that I had changed menu.c so that it
would no longer prompt for the '=' sign.  This would eventually lead to 
keyboard_type remaining unitialized.

thanks
