I did not 'miss' the keyboard configuration - with Apple keyboards the xorg "pc104" "us" setting is the closest match I could find for the keyboard, much better than the "uk" keymap. > > Without going into too much research myself, I would recommend looking > into changing those settings, starting with a google search for the > xorg.conf options, or just looking to `man xorg.conf`.
