The only difference was that pressing altgr-[ produces 159 (small s with
cedilla) instead of 156 (pound sign), which is printed without the patch
-- while both of these are not what I want.

I've started to think that my dosemu tr keymap is wrong. I list 857
codes there; shoudn't I? Sergey, if you are able to produce small o with
diaeresis, could you please send your loadkeys and dosemu keymaps?

Yes. Yes.

Here are some interesting lines:

config.term_charset=2
keyb_config_charset=terminal_cp437
paste_charset=iso8859-1
keyb_charset=iso8859-1
keynum->keysym: 33->00f6

Keynum 0x33 is comma (the key between m and period), isn't it? And
0x00f6 is utf-8 code for small o with diaeresis, isn't it? If so,
shouldn't it be 0x0094 (odiaeresis in 857)? I use "keycode 51 = 148
less" in the kernel keymap, and the following in dosemu keymap:

keytable keyb-user {
  0=
     0,27,"1234567890*-",127,9,
     "qwertyu",141,"op",167,129,13,0,"as",
     "dfghjkl",159,"i",130,0,44,"zxcv",
     "bnm",148,135,".",0,"*",0," ",0,0,0,0,0,0,
...

And are those cp437 / iso8859-1 settings important? Should they be set
to cp857 / iso8859-9, or that requires extra hacking?

dosemu.bin -I 'keytable dump tr' didn't show any keyboard-related info,
and dos session didn't start.

Yes, these are different.
