--- Begin Message ---Package: xkb-data Version: 0.8-12 Severity: normal Hi, I have just installed Debian sid on a new computer. The keyboard has a US layout (in particular, it has an @ above the 2). I have it set to a US layout, but it is behaving as though it has a UK layout (" above the 2). My xorg.conf says the following: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection My /var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following: helen:~> grep -b5 -a5 XkbLayout /var/log/Xorg.0.log 38767-(**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" 38801-(**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 38831-(**) Generic Keyboard: XkbRules: "xorg" 38871-(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104" 38902-(**) Generic Keyboard: XkbModel: "pc104" 38943:(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" 38972:(**) Generic Keyboard: XkbLayout: "us" 39011-(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off" 39046-(**) Generic Keyboard: CustomKeycodes disabled 39093-(**) Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" 39131-(**) Configured Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/mice" 39180-(**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: "ExplorerPS/2" I don't know what's going on.

Ahh, thanks for the tip. I ran $ xprop -root | grep XKB got _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "gb", "", "ctrl:ctrl_aa,lv3:win_switch,compose:ralt,altwin:meta_alt" and concluded that kde had overwritten my X settings. Then a quick hunt through the KDE control centre has the problem fixed. Don't think I set KDE to a UK keyboard (in fact I would not have, knowing that this keyboard is a US one), but I may have told KDE to prefer UK english spellings, or something. Maybe that is what did it. Thanks again, Helen
