Yes, this box is running KDE. The regional settings show "United Kingdom". The only thing that is different to other boxen of mine is that I have not set up /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi to define: <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">uk</merge> When I set up such a file in /etc/ then I can no longer use the keyboard in KDE. I have to fall back to a console and work from there. -- Regards, Mick
