Yes.

Well, it took me an hour or two to write them so I know
exactly what happens and maybe that's the problem, because
I did always run the `loadkmap` command on tty1 only.

But that always worked and as said above, I can't say for
sure when it stopped working.

Coward ;)
Is loadkmap broken currently or can anyone tell me how to use it?

How do I create `loadkmap` compatible keymap files?

I don't like to install kbd-1.12 just to load keymaps but I'll of course
do so if it's the only way to have success.
