The keyboard settings are stored in /etc/default/keyboard

  • Keyboard layout (keymap), see debian-reference.

  • "dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low xserver-xorg" suggested by the above linked page does not work in Squeeze. You may try to add something like "setxkbmap us,ru -option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle" into ~/.xsessionrc instead.

  • Configure additional multimedia key

Change Keyboard Layout

A keyboard layout can be changed on command line: 

# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Use the tool mentioned above if you want to change your keyboard map e.g from qwerty to qwertz.
