Description of problem: I selected the wrong (pc102) keyboard in the installer, and now I would like to swith it to a pc105 keyboard to get the Super key working. It would be nice to be able to do that i the redhat-config-keyboard GUI. I think that the current model with XkbLayout and XkbModel combined in one list is not the best idea, two lists would be much better
The keyboard screen in anaconda used to have a list of models and a list of layouts. We did some usablility studies and that screen was a disaster. In our group of new users, they actually started counting the keys on their keyboard to see if they had a pc101, pc104, or pc105 keyboard. Clearly not user friendly. I changed rhpl yesterday so that all keyboards will default to the pc105 layout. If the keyboard is a pc101, I think that the 105 layout will work just fine since the keyboard just lacks the keys to emit those extra signals. I think this solves the problem in a more elegant way than to go back to the old way of users counting keys. This change should also affect anaconda, since it uses the same code base as redhat-config-keyboard and rhpl.
