It almost certainly isn't going to be backported to squeeze, but the<br>
version in sid has grub-mklayout and grub-kbdcomp utilities. You can do<br>
something like this (untested):<br>
<br>
sudo mkdir -p /boot/grub/layouts<br>
ckbcomp us dvorak | sudo grub-mklayout -o /boot/grub/layouts/us:dvorak.gkb<br>
<br>
... and then add this command to /boot/grub/custom.cfg:<br>
<br>
keymap us:dvorak<br>
<br>
Hopefully we'll get this a bit more neatly integrated in future.<br>
