Yesterday I booted on a Dell laptop and it worked - it started up with the
layout I want.


this is running another distro or puredyne too?

No, all puredyne.

Actually I was wrong - just rebooted it on the Dell and it also requires extra intervention to get the keyboard. So it's not machine- specific.

maybe the .profile doesn't get sourced, since the default shell in
puredyne is zsh. try adding the line to .zshrc and see if it works
then...

This does work, provided I open xterm before doing anything else. The keyboard right after logging in is still not the one I want.

I guess I could tweak the profile to launch xterm :)
