As borrowed from this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/331612

"To load the UK keys by default in the console, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap and change the keymap from *us.map* to *uk.map*."

From the same thread as above:

To change the keyboard map in X, you need to edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[code snippet from xorg.conf]
#
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"


# These are the default XKB settings for X.Org
#
# Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us"
# Option "XkbVariant" ""
# Option "XkbOptions" ""

Option "XkbLayout" "uk" # <-- this is the important bit
[/code]

In X you must edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to reflect your keyboard.

So, where it says UK, change it to the appropriate map =)

[Edit: Piete explained better Be sure to set XkbModel to pc105 ]

You mean the keyboard mapping.

If you want to do that in X, edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf changing the line that says:
Code:
Option "XkbLayout" "en"
and another with
Code:
Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
It may not be "en" but something else, change it to match tukish keyboard which should be "tr".
Change "pc101" to "pc105".
Restart X.
