Lightbulb How to set keys of the keyboard


Hi all
I am facing a problem with my keyboard keys.I am using Qwerty keyboard with 107 keys on Fedora10.When I press a key it inserts wrong character.Following are the Table of keys and its inserted character.

Key ============== Insertion
@ ============================= "
" ============================== @
# ============================== £
\ =============================== #
swift+\ =============================== ~
swift+~ ¬
Further, I don't know which key I use for inserting "\" character, which I need frequently.

I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

Thanks in Advance
Dbajaj

This is just a question of having the correct keyboard driver loaded. For example, using a UK driver with a US keyboard causes @# to come out as "£. The ¬ is only found on UK keyboards, so you're clearing using the driver gb.

If you have 107 keys, you presumably need an appropriate East Asian driver. Enter the menu at System - Preferences - Hardware - Keyboard and click on the Layout tab. You can then add the appropriate driver, set it as the default, and then remove the unwanted one.
