User Feedback :: keyboard switches @ and "

How do i change the keyboard settings in dsl? Right now " @ # and a bunch of other keys are mapped at the wrong places.

Sounds like your after a UK keyboard map and the US one is enabled by default. If you search the forums, there are details of how to set your keymap permanently (of course only on a HDD install).

Good hunting.

Im not having any luck. I found a thread about keymaps, it said about loadkeys and loadkmap but neither of those seem to work how they are supposed to. Is there a file i can edit directly? Where is this setting actually held?

Hi,

Being both UK based and a complete novice I've also hit the same problem, but have just figured it out.

Quit X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
type "loadmaps uk.kmap.gz"
type "startx"

...and that did it for me.

HTH,

You can even just type loadkeys uk, I think. However, it only works before you load up X.
