/usr/sbin/galternatives pi2# apropos alternatives galternatives (1) - A front-end to the update-alternatives update-alternatives (8) - maintain symbolic links determining default commands update-java-alternatives (8) - update alternatives for jre/sdk installations pi2# That may not be it, I don't see keyboard listed in it. Try apropos default too. I forget what it was I changed, it was about 3 Debian boxes and a year ago, but I had to undo what I'd done and do it the Debian way. I miss OpenBSD for its simplicity but they won't touch the Pi yet. NetBSD and FreeBSD but they aren't as polished as Raspbian. I don't like software that tells me how to run my life. I don't mind reading documentation that tells me unavoidable facts but I don't like studying how somebody else decided to set something up. I haven't turned my lathe on in a year or so, I've got one of the Chinese ones. I was turning down the rotors in electric motors to epoxy on magnets and turn them into alternators. 10 years ago. Small lathe, 8 hours per motor, it got old. -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX
