Ah! Yes, I have 'United Kingdom' in active keyboard layouts too. It also shows keyboard model: Generic 104-key PC and Command: setxkbmap -model pc104 - layout gb. I suspect that this problem is related to the fact that I do not have a xorg.conf setting to change the keyboard from the default US to UK and I cannot set a hal/fdi file in /etc because I lose the keyboard completely in kdm and cannot login (the infamous 'Dale' bug ...!) -- Regards, Mick
