[SOLVED] UK keyboard not mapped correctly.
Hi, all.
've just done an install and my UK/GB keyboard is not mapped correctly.
The rest of the xconfig is fine, but whether I use "uk" or "gb", I still get a US mapping. I have checked to make sure the relevant line isn't hashed out (#).
When I
tail /var/log/X....., it does mention something about the US, but any mention of the US is disable (#) in the config. Could it be that something is automatically loading it for me?
I should also mention that I have another install of Arch that is sharing the same KVM and this doesn't exhibit the problem.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris.

Re: [SOLVED] UK keyboard not mapped correctly.
Bizarre, I don't get that. I had tons of problems until I found out that what is usually uk xorg had as gb, but everything was fine after that...

That's what happened to me on my other box and that was fine, too.
I'll have a look at the link that was posted.
Thanks,
Chris.
