How can I change a keyboard from US to UK?

Hi,

My computer thinks I have a US keyboard, but I actually have a UK keyboard. How can I tell the computer it's wrong?

I am using Linux Redhat.

You need to change the lines below in /etc/X11/xorg.conf,

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"

to

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "gb"

You may also need to run system-config-keyboard.
