I've tried to do this, but it didn't work.

I have the Slackware 9.0 and a ABNT2 keyboard,

I decompressed an ABNT2 map.gz and reading the .map,
this file has the CCedilha key (code 38 with keymaps), that's ok.

But running loadkeys <kbmap> nothing changes.

Thanks,

PJota

Try loading the keymap without uncompress it...

I have a french keymap, and loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.map.gz works fine
