After that i can reset the keyboard preference for my Gnome Desktop. But I believe that you have to change the values of the parameterAfter upgrading I also have the problem of not being able to switch to virtual consoles. I tried your suggestion and it works fine (although I substituted "us" for "de" in the layout).I have put that in a script which is run on startup of KDE. However, is there someway to do this for all users upon startup of X rather than individually putting the script in each user's Autostart directory? If there is a way to do it... well, how?Thanks, Rick
You may want to take a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, ans /var/log/Xorg.log. You will probably see errors setting the kdb parameters due to incorrect wording in xorg.conf.
The relevant section of my xorg.conf is Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" HTH Wackojacko
