Xorg keymaps
Arch installation hitlist: getting correct keyboard layout. Finally got to this page in the Archbang wiki which describes adding a line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-edev.conf (bolded): Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "uk" EndSection [Edit] This didn't work, either after restarting X or rebooting the OS. Looks like this might be the way forward. "gb" instead of "uk". [Edit] This works. Thank God!
