first make sure is it a 104 kbd or 102 etc.then ,for eg: for a 104 kbd,in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in"Section "InputDevice" ,keyboard -add below line:
Code:
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc104"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "us"
save,restart X,boot into Gnome,open System>preferences>keyboard>layout>generic 104 ,and tick "US" as lang.that will hopefully fix.

below is my debian xorg.conf for example:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Generic Keyboard"n
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "CoreKeyboard"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc104"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
REMEMBER:ubuntu or fedora or any latest distros autoconfigures X now.so xorg.conf is minimal.you have to configure it .
if I select keyboard in gnome, the setting is not forwarded to IceWM or KDE. Thats the problem.

I want to reset my install time selection. And I need to find a way to do that.

I canīt continue my programming course if I cant use quotes.
