Do I just change XKBVARIANT=intl ? dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration I took at look at this, and it has Generic 104-key PC set now. I don't see a 104-key (Intl) PC option, but I swear that's what I use.

Re: Keyboard layout detection
Thanks to all. Yes I've followed the Debian Eee Pc pages. The repository is not needed for Wheezy, from what I understand. I guess I have a non standard layout, for example when I press the key that has '#' typed on it I get '|'. Funny thing is that I actually have no trouble using the keyboard with this (wrong) layout because I find the correct keys intuitively. BTW, the xsetkbmap is not available on my system, and I can't find it with apt-file either... Anyway, I'll either google for the correct layout, or look into the manual which I've been too lazy to read... :-P Thanks again, Panayiotis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
