The results of

:set keymap=
and of
:let &keymap = ""

ought to be identical. (For the record, what Gary proposed wasn't
:let &keymap = "
with one double quote, but
:let &keymap = ''
with two single ones, which should also give the same result.

Note that since 'keymap' is a buffer-local option, it is recommended to
set it using ":setlocal" if you want to set it for one file without
clobbering other present and future files' setting.

In Normal mode, Ctrl-^ has a different meaning. To toggle (from Normal
mode) whether keymaps will apply (in the current buffer) to the argument
of r f t F T etc. (as well as the next time you start Insert mode), you
can use
:let &l:imi = !&l:imi
(see :help 'iminsert')

assuming that you aren't using an Input Method (you cannot use both an
IM and a keymap in the same buffer at the same time anyway).

I have found the following mappings useful:

" F8: toggle keymaps
:map <F8> :set &l:imi = !&l:imi<CR>
:map! <F8> <C-^>

(especially on keyboards like mine, where Ctrl-^ can only be reached by
holding down both Ctrl and AltGr while hitting unshifted 6).

Best regards,
Tony.

Turns out there's something in Gentoo's /etc/vim/vimrc that defeats
restoring the cursor column:

" When editing a file, always jump to the last cursor position
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if ! exists("g:leave_my_cursor_position_alone") |
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line ("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g'\"" |
\ endif |
\ endif

OpenSUSE (at work) has the non-broken (abbreviated):

if has("autocmd")
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g`\"" |
\ endif
endif

The difference in the executed commands is subtle:
g'"
versus
g`"

But, perhaps your distribution has something that uses (perhaps inadvertently)
'if line("'\"") > 1', for example. What system are you on, precisely?

Ubuntu (9.10) doesn't have any cursor restoration in its vimrc, AFAICT, for
example.

I'm puzzled by your question also; what do you mean by "represensted as
'?kb'? Do you mean the ". register contains '?kb'? what do you try to do?
and What :version? (gui or terminal)?

apt-get build-dep resolved this (thanks again John) but I am still
curious which package would be required, if anyone knows...

Is there any file I can check, post config, for the "+" an "-"? (IMO
vim would benefit from some more informative reporting after configure.)

I have tested your maps, seems not working.
anyway, I decide to map F5 and strike when needed...

+/- clientserver

My gnewsense compile is getting wierder.

I use clientserver mode in vim, and up until now it has always been
available with a straight compile of 7.2:

./configure

But for some reason after compile when I check :version I have
"-clientconfig". I am using the exact same source tarball I always do.

What determines whether clientserver is compiled in? There is nothing
about it under "configure --help".
