Hi
I installed Slack 13 today and everything works fine except for an odd problem
with my keyboard mapping when using X. In the linux console the mapping is fine
but in an xterm or konsole it defaults to a US keyboard map (I'm in the UK)
and neither setting the KDE country nor running loadkeys in a terminal makes
any difference. Is there something else I need to set? I did set the country
to UK in the initial setup.
Thanks for any help

ever seen anyone change a keyboard on the fly to one for a different

well, some of us do it here (in about the same conditions).

now, I'll agree on that but when in a white-room people like to
be able to type fast on a kb they know in order to get out
as fast as possible from the noise and winds from the engines
and cooling systems  It's quite surprising as the ILo card
fed machines fail to fail compared to the ones you need to
actually cure locally  ) Murphy's at work I guess.. |

Well, I tend to plug my USB keyboard into my laptop with it already
running. Of course that always worked just fine with the old setup... |
