Comment 15 for bug 154401

To find out which keyboard is being used by GNOME, use gconf-editor.

From a console prompt, type: gconf-editor
Expand:
   Desktop
       Gnome
            Peripherals
                 Keyboard
                       kbd
                       kbd.sysbackup

To get your X settings, look at the xorg.conf file at /etc/X11

Look for the section "InputDevice" for the "Generic Keyboard."

You should see the Model and Layout information there.
