Fluxbox?!?!?!


Wasn't too sure where to put it, as it's a window manager, I suppose it's software.

Basically when I'm running KDE's window manager, the keys are fine. Shift and 3 means the pound sign, and not the # sign.

But as soon as I log into fluxbox, it adopts US key bindings. The backslash also turns into < and > when shift is pressed down. It's getting on my boobs, and I'd really heavily appreciate someone telling me wtf is going on. Is it something to do with my XF86config? If so, I have 2, and they are both set to 105, which is European. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Any help is extremely appreciated.

Thanks,

Karl.

Methinks you have to add "gb" as one of the parameters in the XF86Config file. But I'm not at home so I can't check it.

XkbLayout "gb" (or is it "en" ?? )
