Hi David,
could it be that you did not started the keytable daemon ?
Look into "drakxservices" if it is started !
Also you can configure the keyboard in the Mandrake Control Center !
After my first installation on my iBook 2001, I had a keytable problem,
too, what I could not solve. So I reinstalled the thing - using
"Aktualisieren" instead of "Installieren" - and the keytable worked.
Cheers
Andreas
