I am not sure about the XF86Config file, if I was where would it be sitting.
As for the keyboards, yes we use UK keyboards. Up until a few months ago I had
to run <xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.uk> to reset the key bindings.
This problem disappeared at some point a few months back but reapeared with
the new release. The fix of changing the mount types to binmode also re-fixed
this problem.
I am really very curious as to what all of the interactions are, but I rather
afraid you guys would have to write a small book to explain it all. Perhaps
better to simply leave it with a hearty thank you and be happy that you are
on top of it all ;-)
