X keymap working again.
As I blogged before, I had issues with my X keymap since the update to X11R7. It took me a while to figure out (mainly because I didn't want to work on this without a second computer in the neighbourhood, since losing the functionality of a keyboard is quite... interesting if you can't ssh in and fix it), but eventually I found out:
X (technically xkbcomp) was looking for my keymap in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/wouter, rather than /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/wouter, as I would expect.
So it fell back to the "use the console keymap", for which I never spent the effort of trying to figure out what the correct setting was. As a result, I didn't have any way to enter characters such as [{}]\|€ etc... which is painful.
