There is indeed. In images, you can edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, following the instructions at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customizing_NAND_images#Keyboard Or you can put it in the startup script for Terminal. Let's see...It's .bashrc for non-login shells, and .profile for login shells. Joyride used to have a UI for changing localization, including UI and keyboard. There are situations where I think the children should have that facility, such as India, which has ten official writing systems for more than 20 official languages, and more than 800 others. There are also schools in California near where I live with several dozen languages in use among students in bilingual classes. More than 60 languages in LA, I hear. (If you want your ear bent some time ^_^, ask me about the Laotian community in Mount Shasta or the Uighurs in New Jersey, or...Well, there's more if you care.) I put more details about keyboards (very nearly my first contribution to the Laptop Wiki) at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboard_layouts There are links to this and the NAND page on the Localization page. The 'setxkbmap' command is also mentioned at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Almanac#I_am_developing_on_an_XO_laptop.2C_but_my_keyboard_and_language_settings_are_not_ideal._How_can_I_change_them.3F > -- > Bastien > -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
