hey guys, I"m at my friends house here in Mexico, setting up linux on his computer. However, when the installation went through, I forgot that his keyboard is a spanish keyboard. So many of the keys are in different places. So, I'm just wondering if I can change the setting of the supported keybord withough having to re-configure xf86config .... I just worried not being able to set his video card to what it is right now, because it's one of those built-in cards, and I just know it's SiS620, but not sure which one I would choose from the list. anyway, any nice ideas would be cool. Thanks for your help guys,

zLinuxz,

In my XF86Config file I found the following section:

----------------------------------------------------------------

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
.
.
.
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure what would go instead of the "us", but I hope
this helps you somewhat.

There's also the setxkbmap command. An apropo for it shows:

setxkbmap (1x) - set the keyboard using the X Keyboard Extension

- lowlife

hmm, I"ll check it out, thanks bro.

I figured out, thanks, guys
