Yes. Just create these files, and feed them to xmodmap. If you want a
little Tcl/Tk script that gives you GUI buttons to toggle between, let
me know and I'll get them from home.

The above keymap is not very good.
For one thing, cap lock doesn't work.
The following keymap is better:

The file contains more info about Dvorak keyboads.

You can how to setup dvorak to run as your default keyboard layout in X windows 
by looking at my instruction for setting up a non-US keyboard layout under
a previous faq-o-matic question "How do I get my non-US (se, fr, de) keyboard 
to work with X?"

The solution that I posted above seems to only work for the R4 release.
For a more complete guide for installing dvorak on Xwindows on R5 go to
the following web page:

A dvorak map that works great in Xterm along with some convenient scripts 
and clear instructions can be found at http://genehack.org/linux/dvorak.html  
By the way, use the R4 version for the new LinuxPPC 2000. The only other thing
 I had to do after following the instructions was to make sure the /home/bin
 was appended to PATH.
