Hello

I recently got an Inspiron Mini 9 with Ubuntu Hardy on it for my girlfriend in Brazil. She wishes to use a mini (think regular laptop-style) Brazilian USB keyboard with it, to make it easier for her to type in Portuguese. Keyboard is Multilaser brand, model Mini Teclado, ISO 9001 and 14001.

The keyboard itself works just fine, our problem is that we cannot make it work like a Brazilian keyboard- it types using the American layout. I have gone to http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/654 , followed the directions, and nothing.

Any suggestions?
