Norwegian Keyboard.
 

Problem:

During the installation of RedHat there is possible to choose English language but Norwegian keyboard during the installation. Or you might choose the default English keyboard during installation and want Norwegain later. In RedHat 6.x doing this way you also do not get those Norwegian errormessages on all the commands when you start using Linux. But this seems not to give you Norwegian, but US keyboard when the installation is finished.

Solution:

To fix this you have to alter the file "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" with your favourite texteditor (for instance write: "pico /etc/sysconfig/keyboard" and insert the one line:

"KEYTABLE=no-latin1"

Then reboot the computer (or type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/keytable restart"). This is because the file mentioned above reads  "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" to know which keymap to use. And it will now load the file:
"/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/no-latin1.kmap.gz"

My "/etc/X11/XF86Config" also have a very plane keyboard section. This looks like this:
---------

Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"

AutoRepeat 500 5

LeftAlt Meta
AltGr ModeShift
ScrollLock Compose
RightCtl Control

XkbDisable

XkbKeymap "xfree86(us)"
EndSection

---------

As you see I've disabled Xkb. This will make the X to use the concole settings.
