  x You need to first specify the generic name for your keyboard layout.
x
  x Usually the layout name is taken from the first keys on the left of the
x
  x top letters row of the keymap (this is at least true for qwerty and
x
  x azerty layouts).
x
  x
x
  x What is the layout of your keyboard ?
x
  x
x
  x                           Type 5
x
  x                           dvorak
x
  x                           Type 4
x
  x                           Unknown (Poland)

I certainly have a type 5, so I select that

  x To refine your choice for a keymap, I also need to know the name of the
x
  x country your keyboard was designed for.  It is usually the country in
x
  x which you bought it, but some countries share the same keyboard
x
  x layouts, and you may not find your country listed here directly.
x
  x
x
  x What is the country of your keyboard ?

  x                               UK
