Re: en keyboard layout

[Ezra Morris]

Hi, I edited all the files as you suggested, and created and set map.en_GB. However, what do I need to do to get these settings to apply?
I tried rebooting, but it still uses the US keymap.
Thanks.

I had a look at the archives here, but they weren't much help.
I'm running Debian GNU/Hurd in QEMU, but there doesn't seem a way to set the
keyboard language to english/gb for the Hurd console.
I installed both console-driver-xkb and clavier, but I can't seem to find a way
to configure them.
    

See /etc/default/keymap for the clavier package.  Layouts are in
/usr/share/clavier/map.*, unfortunately there is no en_GB, but the
format is quite simple, you should be able to write one.

As of console-dirver-xkb, see /etc/default/hurd-console, you need to
comment the pc_kbd line and uncomment the xkb line, and add the --keymap
option you want (i.e. --keymap en_GB)
