I would like your help on 2 simple problems I have with F10 installed on my Dell Vostro laptop.

1. After the last full update, I'm frequently losing the ABNT2 keyboard map. Most of the time it happens after a reboot, but it can also happen at any time. It loads the default map instead the ABNT2 map and then I have to run system-config-keyboard to set it right. How can I track this kind of problem?

The xorg.conf file, for instance, has the correct configuration:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "abnt2"
Option "XkbLayout" "br"
EndSection

And /etc/sysconfig/keyboard is:
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="br-abnt2"

They seem all right for me...

2. I was never able to set a Time Server address to synchronize my laptop. For all ntp addresses that come predefined in F10, and even for the brazilian ntp servers, I always get the error: Unable to contact time server: Public time server (pool.ntp.org) (or anyone like that). Again, how can I track this error?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
