     @robconnolly Easiest way is to edit /etc/xorg.conf you know. What layout would you like?

     @cpf I've added some stuff in there folowing the instructions on the wiki. It seemed to be working last night but not today. Keyboard is gb.

     @robconnolly Perhaps you're doing something wrong? Does setxkbmap gb work?

     @cpf yes it does. my xorg.conf is here: http://svn.webworxshop.com/files/xorg.conf

     @robconnolly Unless you disabled hotplugging, I think you're better off looking at /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi

     @cpf If you mean as in at http://ur1.ca/uzxv that was the first thing I tried.

     @robconnolly Hmm, well, than I don't really know why your keyboard isn't the correct layout :( Try hitting the #arch forums?

     @cpf yeah, might give that a try. Thanks for your help though!

     @robconnolly is KEYMAP="uk" in rc.conf ?? Sorry if youve answered this, joined your issue rather late in the day ...

     @corris Yes it was, though I think I just fixed it. Thanks anyway!

     @robconnolly What was the issue / how did you fix ???

   • Rob Connolly Mathias Teugels , CorrisIT

     @cpf @corris I've fixed it! It seemed XFCE was overriding the xorg settings and forcing a us layout. Thanks for the help!

     @robconnolly Defaults are *always* a PITA - installer should offer keymap choice and that's it, done period ....

     @robconnolly Np, glad you found it. Your xorg was just fine :)

   • Rob Connolly CorrisIT

     @corris Yeah, it would make things easier.

     @cpf Thanks. It was really weird, until decided to look at the XFCE prefs.
