Ah! Yes, I have 'United Kingdom' in active keyboard layouts too. It also |
| 23 |
shows keyboard model: Generic 104-key PC and Command: setxkbmap -model pc104 - |
| 24 |
layout gb. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I suspect that this problem is related to the fact that I do not have a |
| 27 |
xorg.conf setting to change the keyboard from the default US to UK and I |
| 28 |
cannot set a hal/fdi file in /etc because I lose the keyboard completely in |
| 29 |
kdm and cannot login (the infamous 'Dale' bug ...!) |
