uk keymap in 8.1 for FIC 430 laptop

lolmc · 07-21-2002, 04:05 PM

I've installed 8.1 on my laptop with lots of success (display works,winmodem working and sound as well - more than a poor linux user deserves I know but I want more) but the keymap for the uk doesn't work.For instance the @ key is SHIFT+2 when it should be SHIFT+'.
Can anyone suggest where to look for the right keymap and also how to install and spec it for XF86 etc?

Is it correct on the command line? As this will only effect X. Take a look at /etc/X11/XF86Config - find the InputDevice section for UK keyboards it should have something like this

Code:

Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout"  "gb"

HTH
