Issue

  • Is there any way to set system wide default keyboard layout in RHEL6 ?
  • The system configuration for keyboard is defined in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, but it is not working.

    Eg:

    # cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard 
    KEYTABLE="de"
    MODEL="pc105"
    LAYOUT="de"
    KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
