 Also run xconsole in X so messages to /dev/console go there.

 In the released versions, the default is no FI_LAYOUT. Only
my limited distribution-betas go out with the setting I use (-:

 Interesting. Some combinations seem to be from the Finnish
layout, but not all. I can't look at it for the next three
weeks since I'm in Oregon and currently I have to use a horrible
IBM XT in a borrowed office to get anywhere (anyone want to
donate a uoregon.edu account so I can dial in ? :) (or tell
me if there's an isp around Eugene)

 Anyway, you might want to have dt print the scan codes for the
keys it gets, see if they match in uskeyboard.h and if they don't
optionally tweak the file.
