Yes, this box is running KDE. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The regional settings show "United Kingdom". |

The only thing that is different to other boxen of mine is that I have not set |
| 16 |
up /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi to define: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">uk</merge> |
| 19 |
|

When I set up such a file in /etc/ then I can no longer use the keyboard in |
| 21 |
KDE. I have to fall back to a console and work from there. |
