    sounds like for some reason german keyboard mapping was activated. Could
    you please send me any system information or starting point to debug your
    trouble? The /etc/X11/XF86Config would be very useful. Are for example Y and
    Z swapped, too?

    Most of our Alphas here run with a 7.1 AXP and an english keyboard without
    any problems in mapping. You can even start sax2 on a running X server and
    change the keyboard settings on the fly and test them using the "apply" button.
