Hi,
Can anyone give a hand here?.
All apps EG Seamonkey,text editor,terminal are correctly using this UK keyboard except Rox filer which is using a US keymap instead when EG setting a run action,
xorg.conf is set with;
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
rc.conf is set with;
KEYMAP="uk"
Thanks,Chris.

When Rox-lib is installed it changes the filer keymap to US.De-install rox-lib and rox filer reverts to the default X keymap IE the UK one on this machine.
Could not find any other solution here,from Google or at Rox homepage.
Best Wishes Chris.

Weird. I have rox-lib installed here:
$ pacman -Qs rox-lib
local/rox-lib 2.0.4-1 (rox-desktop)
Shared code which can be used by other ROX applications. This is rox-lib2
...and have no keymap trouble.
I thought your problem was odd when I first saw it, but didn't say anything because I didn't really have any answers beyond "works okay here". Still, if uninstalling rox-lib works for you, I suppose...

Weird but that is the way it was.Have had to put 'setxkbmap gb &' into my .xinitrc file to get reliable keyboard mapping and have re-installed rox-lib2.All seems ok now.
Think the problem may have started with 'hwd -xa' which set xorg.conf "XkbdModel" "uk" and uk is unknown to X.
I did'nt notice the error until a few days later by which time i had installed most software (clean install) including rox-lib2.
Best Wishes.Chris.

UPDATE; Putting 'setxkbmap gb, qwerty' into .xintrc only went so far,keyboard map was OK but no repeat.Had to follow most of Arch Wiki for evdev,as follows;
Change xorg.conf file at "ServerFlags"
"Option" "AutoAddDevices" "true" #was "false" original
Copy '/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor' to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/'
Edit 10-keymap.fdi in '/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/' to change us keymap to gb.
Hash out the setxkbmap instruction in .xinitrc.
NOW everything is as it should be.
Best Wishes Chris.
