 +<code>cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout-evdev.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/</code>
 +and
 +<code>cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/91-keyboard-layout-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/</code>

 +Edit these files specifying the layout (eg. ''gb''):
 +
 +<code>nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout-evdev.conf</code>
 +
 +<code>Section "InputClass"
 +        Identifier "keyboard-all"
