There is a clue on the Manufacturing Data page on the olpc wiki, you 
need to modify /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and change the "us" to "mi".

So to recap,

To create and install a new Maori keyboard using the maori.patch from my 
previous mail:

xkbcomp $DISPLAY orig.xkb
patch -p0 <maori.patch
sudo cp orig.xkb /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/mi
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

in the last command change the XKBLAYOUT="us" to "mi".

This isn't the "right" way to do it, but it works and is probably good 
enough for now. If the users like the layout we'll do what we need to do 
to get it into the build.

Is Jerry's xs.custom

suitable for customizing an XO?
