I know, thats why I asked.

In Archlinux, I copied console keymap
,---------------------
| de-latin1-nodeadkeys
`---------------------
adapted it to my emacs needs, saved it and put
,----------------------------------
| KEYMAP=de-latin1-nodeadkeys-emacs
`----------------------------------
in my /etc/vconsole.conf.
It looks somehow like this:
,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| # de-latin1-nodeadkeys-emacs.map: German keymap with special keybindings for Emacs
|
| include "de-latin1.map"
|
| # control keycode 7 = Control_asciicircum
| keycode 13 = apostrophe grave
| keycode 27 = plus asterisk asciitilde
| # keycode 41 = asciicircum degree
|
| # corresponding keys in de-latin1.map:
| # keycode 13 = dead_acute dead_grave
| # keycode 27 = plus asterisk dead_tilde
| # keycode 41 = dead_circumflex degree
|
| # unterste Zeile:
| keycode 29 = AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr
| [...]
| etc etc
`--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would be interesting if (and how) it works to actually define and use a
hyper-key on the console, because even the standard modifiers like C-,
M- and don't always work, especially when combined (see 'org on a
tty' in the manual) or in combination with S-.

sounds interesting ...
