There is only 1 tiny thing annoying me about my Fc6 install. My keyboard layout is fine my multimedia keys work but 1 key that I have the quote and the double quote button on (itś one button on my keyboard) doesn´t work. I can double press the button it produces this (´)not ('). And the shell will not recognise it.

Is there a config file I could go to and edit?

This problem turns out to be a major nuisance as with the quote and double quotes button not working I cannot write scripts.

It is the only key not working, even all multimedia keys are working.

Hi,

I am having the same problem in FC6 installed in my x86 system. The quote can be typed using the '@' key (i.e. shift-2). Actually, these keys ('"' and '@') have got interchanged. Did you manage to find any solution?

Thanks in advance,
Manish

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
EndSection

This worked for me

Hi,

I am assuming that the above text you have written has to be put in some config file. I am sorry but i dont know which file it is as i am very new to Linux. Could u please tell me?

Thanks,
Manish

Sorry That was a quick reply, I had the ball and chain nagging away. Yes that is my keyboard section of The /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Ok so what you should do is go to a terminal. First create a backup so at the prompt# type whats in the quotes "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/backupxorg.conf" . Then you should see that file in your home directory.

Okay so "su" to root. At the prompt type # gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then locate the keyboard layout section and substitute in

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
EndSection

THen save and close gedit, you may need to logout to restart X. Hope it works if it doesn't you have a backup of your current config to resort to.
