Hello, I got a laptop at work that I can take home with me. It has Vista installed, but I boot a live version of Trisquel Mini. I can change the keyboard layout from english to german with this command: setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc104 -layout de -option "". But this laptop does not have the pc104 keyboard model, it lacks a numpad and has some other differences. Important keys that don't work after the command: direction arrows, del, end, pos1. How do I check the keyboard layout to switch it correctly? I really need to be able to type in German, since it has a couple of different letters.
This is the program for checking in gnome (gnome-keyboard-properties) you could maybe use a liveCD and run that program and find out what layout you have. I don't know about mini sorry I don't use it.

it says my keyboard is a generic 105 keys (Intl) PC. How do I change the above command? pc105?

I've got around this by reformatting the USB-stick with the gnome-based version. The laptop is rather fast and I notice no big difference in performance. I can add keyboard layouts easily and all keys work out of the box. Once I got clarity about how well the WLAN card works, I'll add the machine to h-node :) So far everything works perfectly.
