Keyboard layout is crazy

I've installed BT-4 final to hdd in a dual-boot with XP SP/3 successfully! Have a dual boot menu, etc...

Problem is though, my keyboard. I believe I selected the correct regional settings during the install, U.S., etc, but my keyboard isn't acting right. When I press a I get a q, and when I use shift-2 to get @, I get 2. There are other differences, also. I have searched the forums and googled, but I can't find the settings to change the keyboard to the layout I need. Somebody help please, Thanks, I don't want to have to get another keyboard.

Im not sure if this gonna help you but when I had problems like that it solved when I typed in to shell "reset"

From the command line: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us (where -model pc104 is whatever keyboard you are using)

From KDE GUI you can mess with your keyboard layout under Settings>Regional & Accessibility>Keyboad Layout or you can <right-click> the little flag icon in systray and change/configure your keyboard.

Let us know if this post or halfdones's work for you

The flag at the bottom, I'm on it now. Lovin' it severely. Probably for another thread but, is it possible to add open office, and maybe firefox 3.5? If not cool. Sorry, but I haven't tried the coding, I'll change things around later and let you know. In the meantime, if you click on the flag, your regional settings change.:cool: I feel like such an IDIOT:o

1 last thing, don't know if the thread needs marked solved, or even how to, but it is.

I'm not sure, but I believe that you can edit the title by editing your first post of the thread.
