debian squeeze keyboard problem

[lists at barrettpianos.co.uk]

All,

This is a long shot but just wonder if anyone has any thoughts on a 
problem I am having and whether it may be anything to do with 
speakup.

Using a weekly build of squeeze from 27th July.

My problem is that, I am not getting the uk keyboard layout in the 
console.

The layout seems to be correct in the gui.

If I understand thing correctly, the /etc/default/keyboard is used by 
the console and xorg to provide keyboard layout so I find it strange 
that in gnome it is working but not in the console.

I have tried dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and although I 
tell it I have a uk keyboard still no change.

I have put the installation cd back in and found that selecting the uk 
keyboard seems to work in the installer so must have changed 
when booting in to the new install.

I have done an apt-get install dist-upgrade which has not had any 
improvement.

All I can think of now is getting another cd and trying again but 
thought I would check the list first.

Just wondered if it could be to do with speakup as, googling has not 
revealed any similar reports which is surprising me a bit.

Thanks

Keith Barrett
