Description Guido Muesch 1995-08-08 00:30:00 UTC 
You can change the keyboard layout with kbdadjust to generate ISO-characters.
But you can not change the screenlayout, or fonts because the vidadjust
program only works for VGA displays.

Fix: 

I use X11R6 on a Hercules Card at the moment, because I need a way to
type ISO-chars for typesetting. (e.g. groff and lout like ISO chars for input)

Try pcvt.  It understands all ISO-8859-1 characters that are also
available in the (hard-coded for MDAs) IBM crap page #437.

Would this close your PR, or do you insist of syscons also providing
this feature?

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
