Keyboard layout trashed

[Colin Paul Adams]

Help!

I've just re-booted my system after an update, and my keyboard layout
is wrong.

I have a Logitech deluxe 250 keyboard. I tried going into
System->Preferences->Hardware->Keyboard - it showed me a USA layout
(nothing else, although I am in United Kingdom, and my system has long
be configured that way). So I tried to add a layout. I could not find
my keyboard in the choices under Logitech.

Worse, every layout I looked at (and not just logitech) did not show
the full number of keys (the key between the left-hand SHIFt and the Z
- labelled \ on my keyboard is missing).

How can I select the correct layout?

Thank-you.

But there is no fix.

How do you revert the file mentioned?

Just go to your settings and reset your keyboard layout.

But the layout isn't there! that's the problem.

I got it from a machine not yet "updated".

I've put it on our ftp server:

ftp://ftp.crc.dk/pub/f10keyboard/10-x11-keymap.fdi

Use it at your own risk!

The file goes into the folder
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/

Store the original file in a safe place, you might
need it when a real fix is available.

A reboot is necessary afterwards, just restarting X
isn't enough.

Thank you very much Mogens.

That worked, but ONLY after I deleted the USA layout (just adding and
selecting a UK layout was ineffective).

Anyway, I have my \\\ bacl again.

Thanks again.

All,
Curiously, I just deleted the USA layout (having previously added the UK 
layout), and the UK layout took over as soon as I OK'ed the dialog, then I 
rebooted and found that the UK layout still applied.
Much simpler than reverting to an older file :)
