It is me, again. LOL :)
This time, I write a clear keymap. 

The following is my keymap. Feel free to add it.
I have 2  problem to consult you:
 Q1:
         When I read the keymap files in kbd folder (/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/dvorak), I found a lot of things like:
            Meta_one
            Meta_exclam
            Meta_bar
            ... ...
           I am wondering what is Meta_ ?
           Then I google it, but google can not give me a certain answer. I've stuck by this for a long time. 
           So, Please tell me. (My english is poor, hope you can understand me)
 Q2:
         I don't know the naming rule about keymap.
         So I observed the filenames in  /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/dvorak :
           ANSI-dvorak.map.gz
           dvorak-ca-fr.map.gz
           dvorak-es.map.gz
           dvorak-fr.map.gz
           dvorak-l.map.gz
           dvorak-r.map.gz
           dvorak-ru.map.gz
           dvorak-sv-a1.map.gz
           dvorak-sv-a5.map.gz
           dvorak-uk.map.gz
           dvorak.map.gz
           no-dvorak.map.gz
         But I still do not have an idea about that. 
         I name it "Code To Death", so campy, huh??? You can look down upon me. :)
         But It seems that the name is too long. I have to call the kemap:
                dvorak-codetodeath.map.gz
                codetodeath-dvorak.map.gz
         or shorter:
                dvorak-ctd.map.gz
                ctd-dvorak.map.gz
         Which name should I choose ?

Note: I have send 4 or 5 mails to kbd mailing list. Just because I want to add the keymap which my friends and I are using to kbd.
         But now, I found that is not important anymore.  Now, what I want is to understand the thing in kbd.
         Until now, I read the man pages about chvt, deallocvt, loadkeys ... But, there is a lot of concept I can not understand.
         I think that I started reading at a wrong entry . Maybe , you can give me some advice on reading docment about kbd.

Note again: It 01:36 am in my country, I have to go to bed. I spend a lot of time on writing this email, so don't reply me. LOL. I am kidding.

Here is my keymap. Please give me some advice during your free time, Thanks.
