I am very new to Debian (having progressed though Mint and Ubuntu) and I am more than happy and very impressed.
I have Squeeze installed but one little thing is irritating me about the keyboard. I am using the UK keyboard layout but when I want to type the "@" symbol my keyboard returns this "Ω"
I have (obviously) done a workaround but is there a simple way to remap this key, and should it be reported as a bug?
However you raised an interesting point as I normally use this computer through synergy.
With a keyboard plugged in the problem disappears, so the issue is not with Debian
Also I ran command "xmodmap -pk | grep '(at)'" via synergy

Reason: addtional info
A workaround was to remap the 'q' key (and others that were also causing problems):
Code:
xmodmap -e "keycode 53 = x X greater greater greater greater"
xmodmap -e "keycode 52 = z Z less less less less"
xmodmap -e "keycode 24 = q Q at at at at"
Thanks for that
I wasn't aware of the bug report
I think we can close this thread with "solved"
The sheer amount of help that is available here, well what can I say?
Thank you does not suffice
But thankyou anyway
