After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Quick diagnostic: if you run "setxkbmap fi", do you get your normal layout back?

yes, that worked! Will it work if I restart my systen?
After restarting it fixed arrows and delete, insert, ..., but language layout didn\t change

No, that's only for that session. X seems to have forgot your keyboard settings; where did you originally set your layout?

my brother installed this system, so can't say for sure, but I can check some places, if you name them. I have three users in this computer and I think they use same language/layout file.

The usual place would be "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". Look for an "InputDevice" section with the "kbd" driver. There may be a line in that section that looks like this:
Option "XkbLayout" "fi"If there isn't, copy that line in (you'll need to edit the file as root). Another place to check is your desktop environment's settings. Are you running Gnome, KDE, XFCE, or something else?

Found it and there is
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fi"I'm using KDE. Isn't there any easy way to change layout to all users with one file or command?

If I start KDEs System setting and choose region and language and there keyboard setting and choose Suomi "fi", after reboot scandic work, but arrows, insert- delete-.... keys don't work. There is command "setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout fi -variant" if I switch this option on.

Unfortunately, xorg.conf is the system-wide setting, and KDE's keyboard settings override it. I don't have KDE installed at the moment; is there any way to tell KDE not to interfere? Look for an option like "system default".

brother fixed it with next code
