...Well, interesting timing as I installed SuSE 9.3 on a new machine 4 or 5 days ago and Isuspectit had a few problems with my keyboard layout too. I haven't got around to looking at it in depth. I have 2 other new keyboards lying around just in case, but I believe I should simply change to GB layout. YaST actually makes this very easy.
The only thing that bothers me, believe it or not, is that the keyboard I received in the package, although it looks wonderful, has a circle where the right SHIFT typically lies. It is hard getting accustomed to always use the left SHIFT. What is that circle anyway? And why is it that I al- ways spend a few seconds trying to figure out what's wrong until I see that the colon is in fact a semi-colon? Why is it that amaroK uses the Windows logo button for global keyboard accelerators? The keyboard strug- gles must end.
As for Ubuntu, something about its hardware detection is admirable. I use it on a machine at work very happily. Nonetheless, I am an avid SuSE user and would describe your situation as "tough luck". Try OpenSuSE 10. The reviews are excellent.
