Re: SOLVED keyboard went funkity with last nights update



Sounds like a problem with the alternatives configurator, a Debian
thing that's also in Raspbian.   If it bites again that wasn't the
right way to change it.  Mine looks like:

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc101"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

BACKSPACE="guess"
