Other Nokia N900 tips

To use a hardware dvorak keyboard on the Nokia N900, follow the following guide, as xmodmap doesn't work on the device:

$ wget http://sumoudou.org/n900/rx-51.shiroikuma
# cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51.orig
# cp rx-51.shiroikuma /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_nvdr/rx-51
# setxkbmap

Now your keyboard is remapped to Dvorak.

The layout of my modified Dvorak keyboard file for the N900 is:

| Ct | :;1 | w 2 | v 3 | p 4 | y 5 | f 6 | g 7 | c 8 | r 9 | l 0     | .,=   | DEL?!    |
| FN | a * | o + | e # | u - | i _ | d [ | h ] | t & | n < | s >     | UP `  | RET      |
| Sh | z ~ | q $ | j \ | k ( | x ) | b " | m ' |   SPC/@   | LFT ESC | DWN | | RGHT TAB |

If you want to go back, restore the original rx-51 file from the backup.
