I've just bought a USB KVM switch, whenever I switch then switch back the keyboard layout changes to us from gb it's really annoying.

Any ideas how I can stop this happening?

edit: Forgot to say - keyboard layout only changes in KDE (4.3) the console remains mapped as gb. I have set the keyboard as evdev-manged in the KDE keyboard setup.

Think I've fixed it:

found a posting in other forums which recommended

Code: Select all

cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

then edited the keymap in there to gb and it seems to work
