apt-get install locales

set up en-utf8, jp-utf8, and C locales.

.xinitrc

The .xinitrc for my user should switch us to dvorak, and pull in the xmodmap for this keyboard.

setxkbmap -variant dvorak
if [ -s ~/.Xmodmap ]; then
   xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
fi

.Xmodmap

This makes the search button, and the control buttons control:

clear control
clear mod4
keycode 133=Super_L
add control = Control_L Control_R Super_L
add mod4 = Super_R
