Keyboard & language problems


Hello,

I'm very new in linux. I just installed Suse 10.1 on my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A5). I have problem, since the keyboard is German, but I installed with English (US) language. Is there anyway that I can keep the language (English) but I have no problem writing with my German keyboard.

big thanks for any help

You could try to change keyboard layouts, wich are accessible thru KDE menus. Or, if you're brave, you could manually edit the X server config file to add layouts...
