Hi!

in rc.conf I have the right keymap:
keymap="la-latin1"
and kdemod 4.1
special keys works ok outside kde....

system settings > regional & language > keyboard layout looks promising.

yea, maybe in 4.2...?

I have been looking it, and there is no way to change layout there...
or I must be blind...

I have tried configuring the layout in the regional preferences (at first it was using the rc.conf value, la-latin1), and tested all the generic and dell keyboard models and nothing... I can not use that keys...
to send an email I have to find an AT symbol and copy/paste it

you must enable the keyboard layout changing feature in the regional preferences and select the right layout. it worked for me.
