Hullo again,

I can't help you with your exact problem, but

I ran ‘sudo loadkeys de-latin1’ on VT 2, where my ‘y’ key now does 
the bad thing.  So it works here.

This mix of loadkeys and setxkbmap confuses me, though: are you 
trying to log in on a VT (the Linux console), or X?

‘loadkeys’ only handles the former, ‘setxkbmap’ only the latter. 
They are entirely separate.

Kind regards,

T G-R
