If you uncomment XkbDisable in XF86Config/XF86Config-4, key map in
console is inherited.

(I know you'll have some troble in Blender if you uncomment XkbDisable.
It might be so in other applications. But configuring once is nice).

Redhat may use different location for keymap files, but they use
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard.

I remember one thing. The English version of Redhat6.2 included a bad
jp106.kmap.  Get a keymap file from Vine. VA Linux enhanced Redhat6.2
also had the same problem.
