Trackpad firmware update

[karlyn]

Hi Folks,

Just received my PBP ansi machine.   I have gone through the firmware update instructions for the ansi keyboard, as well as applied mrfixit's updates.   The machine works great, but I'm having some weird issues with the keyboard.

The key right above the enter key is supposed to produce a pipe symbol with the shift key.  Instead I get a ~ (tilde) symbol when I use that key combination.   without shift, it produces a hash instead of a backslash.

I have found a couple other keys that are not mapped correctly ( like the key that produces the ~, which produces ¬ instead.   The shift-3 produces £, shift-2 produces ".

Maybe I just need to do something to update my keymap.   Since characters are being produced, I don't think there is a keyboard issue.   However, if I plug in an external USB keyboard, the mappings seem to be correct.

I haven't noticed anyone else report this issue, and I apologize in advance if I missed that this is a common problem.

Looks like your system's layout is set to ISO instead of ANSI. Look into Control Center -> Keyboard -> Layout and see if it's set to English (US). If it's set to English (UK) then it's using the ISO layout

Ok, that was exactly the issue.  Simple enough, thanks!
