The procedure for modifying the keyboard layout on your XO is described [[Customizing_NAND_images#Keyboard|here]].

There are two mechanisms on the laptop that are used to configure the keyboards: one for the console and one for the X Window System (and Sugar).

===Console===

Console keyboard layout files are in <tt>/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386</tt>. From the [[Terminal]] activity (or the console), you can use the 'loadkeys' program to assign a keymap to the the console. For example:

loadkeys es

for Spanish

loadkeys us

for English

===X Window System===

X Window System keyboard symbol files are in <tt>/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols</tt>. Again, from the [[Terminal]] activity (or the console), you can use the <tt>setxkbmap</tt> to assign a symbol table to the X Window System. For example:

setxkbmap es

for Spanish


Instructions for setting up keyboard switching in [[Terminal]] are on the [[Customizing NAND images]] page. On bilingual XOs, the multiplication/division key is replaced with a keyboard switching key.

Changing the language of the keyboard is independent of changing the language currently displayed. The language currently displayed can be changed by using the Language section of the [[Sugar Control Panel]].
