8 If you're using the evdev driver for keyboard and mouse (you should
9 be!) then something like this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf might help.
10
11 # Configuration for evdev-controlled input devices.
12 Section "InputClass"
13 Identifier "keyboard"
14 Driver "evdev"
15 Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
16 Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
17 Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
18 MatchIsKeyboard "on"
19 EndSection
20
21 Section "InputClass"
22 Identifier "pointer"
23 Driver "evdev"
24 MatchIsPointer "on"
25 EndSection
26
27
28 The bit about "XkbLayout" "gb" should do the trick. [Just be aware that
29 there is a national language code "uk", but it is for Ukrainian.]
