Option XkbLayout "gb" / Slackware 13

Just did a fresh install today, and copied the sample xorg.conf so that I could change to the gb layout, but it does not matter what I do, it stays as "us".

Is there a new way to change this? It is getting quite frustrating now! Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Code:

If you need to use a non-US keyboard layout, then copy the file located at

  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy

  and edit it to suit your needs.  Have a look at the contents of that file

  for an example and more information.  If you prefer to do this the "old" way

  using /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then you can use "X -configure" or "xorgsetup" to

  generate an xorg.conf, then add the following lines to the "ServerFlags"

  section to disable input device hotplugging via HAL:

    Option  "AllowEmptyInput"    "false"

    Option  "AutoAddDevices"      "false"

    Option  "AutoEnableDevices"  "false"

  This is also relevant if you prefer to disable HAL completely for whatever

  reason.

Thanks for that, it's much appreciated, I copied the file, changed to "gb" and ditched my xorg.conf file... all working OK.. feel rather dumb now for not reading the changes file..

I had a little trouble too with my Marvell Yukon which did not work with sys2, then magically did, and had to enable the iwl3945 module for wireless.. apart from that a rather straight forward install, and very impressed with the facelifted KDE.. (even though I use fluxbox).
