Keyboard weirdness
All of a sudden my keyboard is speaking a foreign language! Standard UK
105-key PS2, was working fine yesterday. Now I get gibberish whenever I
type (no change there, then, some of you may be thinking). Everything
else is working normally. What package do I need to reinstall please?
Can't think what I might have done to break it. Having to post from XP -
O the shame!

Check System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts/Reset ?

Yep, thanks, that did it! Strange thing was when I hit reset US English
disappeared from the list leaving only UK to choose from. But that suits
me fine! I think US is installed by default as that's what the installer
runs on. Perhaps it got corrupted? Anyway, all's well now so thanks.
