Exclamation Keyboard layout

Hi so hopefully this will help others who are having similar issues as well.

I solved the a getty terminals

Code:
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

title Fedora (2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64)
	root (hd1,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 ro root=UUID=553d29bd-4b1c-427d-8624-8ad53821f217 rd_DM_UUID=sil_bgaiahccahbc rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=uk rhgb 
	initrd /initramfs-2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64.img

however the same is not being applied in gnome

Code:
[root@fedora15 david]# cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard 
KEYTABLE="uk"
MODEL="pc105"
LAYOUT="uk"
Code:
[root@fedora15 david]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf 
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"system-setup-keyboard"
	MatchIsKeyboard	"on"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"pc105"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"uk"
#	Option		"XkbVariant"	"(null)"
	Option		"XkbOptions"	"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,"
EndSection
These settings aren't applied in gnome as the documentation infers.

Has anybody found a workaround for this?
i can see any other maps that could apply!

Code:
[root@fedora15 david]# ls /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/

Re: Keyboard layout

For a start, the designation "uk" is only used in the console; X uses "gb"!

The files in question are ignored by Gnome: mine show "us" even though my keyboard is British. To set things in a desktop, use the desktop facilities (which you can rely on not to be ignored).
