[8.04] Pound Sign.

Hi, simple problem,using a standed UK laptop keyboard, but when i hold shift and press 3, it comes up with a 3, not a pound sign.

Thanks in advance

Check your keyboard layout in System->Preferences->Keyboard

Thanks for your reply, i cant do anything in keyboard layout, and i cant select a model because none come up.

Thanks in advance

If a UK keyboard was selected at the time of installation then maybe your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has got corrupted.

Mine (Dapper - 6.06) has the following section in it:

Quote:

---

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection

Suggest check your xorg.conf and edit if necessary. Then restart X.

Thank you! i changed Option "XkbLayout" "uk" to Option "XkbLayout" "gb" and now it works fine

Thanks and solved
Thomas
