If so, Sawfish doesn't handle keyboard geometry information itself. You will have to do it manually. Try issuing the following command in a terminal window (not as root): setxkbmap -geometry 'pc(pc104)' #Notice the single quotes! You need to issue killall superkb and run it again to make it see the change. Once you make it work, fix the setting according to your distribution instructions before loading Superkb. This is usually done in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as stated in http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/input/XKB-Config.html and remember that "setxkbmap -print" is your friend.
