[opensuse] 11.2 I asked for UK keyboard, but got US :-(
New installation of 11.2 from 11.1 yesterday, using freshly burnt DVD, and standard Yast installer. I set my locale and keyboard to UK as usual - I remember waiting the couple of seconds while it 'downloads' the licence for me to read in my own language ;) Now that I'm up and running with a KDE 4.3.3 desktop, I've noticed that the keyboard is not UK. This should be a pound (hash) sign \ This should be a tilde | This should be double quotes (shifted 2) @ etc., etc. ISTR a Yast module for setting keyboard stuff, but I can't find it. Any suggestions, please?

ISTR a Yast module for setting keyboard stuff, but I can't find it. Any suggestions, please? From command line I use 'setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout gb' for oS11. There is a setting in the KDE Kontrol Centre for this. From yast, I have no idea.
