Don't know about Linux keyboard support

Linux supports any keyboard mapping you like, only limited by the hardware, as one would expect. The KBD Linux keyboard tools are used to set up the keyboard mapping for the console. See the man pages if you want to know more.

X11 is a different beast, it has its own, different mapping mechanism. Of course, you can use your own keyboard mapping. For Xorg, there are a few a good articles in the archlinux wiki (Xorg, XKB, extra keys). Desktop environments like Gnome, KDE, xfce can also influence the keyboard mapping, using the mechanisms embedded in the X11 system.
