I never said they weren't correct. The keymap is fine, it's just not
possible to construct an udev rule to apply it, as right now it is not
possible to identify your keyboard. The keymap can certainly not be
applied to _all_ machines/keyboards out there.

Yes, so was I. That's all in gnome-control-center.

OK, then I don't know how this works.
