I really like the looks and size of DSL, however, it would be infinitely more useful (to me anyway) if I could select a different keyboard layout;  dvorak in my case.

Any chance on seeing a feature like this in a future release?

There are some keymaps in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/dvorak. To change the keymap (probably there are other ways, but this is the only way I have found):

1. crtl+alt+backspace (to kill X)
2. loadkeys dvorak
3. startx (to restart X)

Ive tried searching the fourm myself but I cant find an answer to this:

I have a UK keyboard layout, and im running DSL in VMware workstaion using the supplied VMware X server.

Ive got everything up and running... but there's one small annnoyance:

The Backspace key dosnt work properly. It should move the cursor left and delete that character... but it only does the latter. Is there a nice and simple way to get the backspace key to work under DSL / VMware?
