Hi, people.

This is my first post on this ML.

I'm sorry for my English that is not a very good one (Feel free to 
report mistakes, I'm trying to improve my English).

Thank you to all the developers for their work. I love Xfce4.2 :-)

You can try by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and setting up a 
keyboard option.
