I have a Microsoft Universal Keyboard UK Lyout. It works very well, but being UK it does not match the "English keyboard" settings under settings -> Text input-> Active layout.

Where can I find out where these settings are kept so I can edit the file to match my hardware?

There is a lot in /usr/share/X11/xkb ?


also:

As the Tablet runs Linux whats the nearest distribution I can find that matches it ie what is is based on?
