I've tried it. And it loads the incorrect map, I mean, one showing +a instead
of a-cute.
I have just removed that map from the system, and 'loadkeys es' works
properly, loading a correct Spanish map. It seems we have found the
"culprit".
As an immediate solution it is easy to remove /olpc/es.map.gz to make it
work as expected with 'loadkeys es'.
But it could be interesting to know why the default path to the Spanish
keymap goes to /olpc instead of /qwerty. I've tried to study the code of
loadkeys, but sorry, it is out of my range :-(.
