    10.5.7 (Retail) is now running happily on my AOA 110 Aw but the " key (Shift 2) and the @ are swapped!

    Any ideas on how to solve this one? Seems to be the same whichever kybd layout I use (US or UK)

    The @ symbol is sooooo useful! And where is the ~ (tilda)?

    Kind Regards

    Hugh

    I had similar problem with my UK keyboard. The Apple UK layout doesn't seem to match the one used by the Aspire One.
    I solved the problem like this:
    Go to the site of Logitech, then download something called "Logitech Control Center pour Macintosh® OS X". To get to that, pretend you have a Logitech product for MAC, like the Wave Keyboard, for example.
    Once you install it, reboot, then go to System Preferences, select International, Input Menu, and then select the Logitech model for your keyboard language. In my case, I use "Logitech U.K. Intl".

    Excellent, many thanks.

    I now have the ~ and # characters back, and the @ and " the right way round on my UK AOA150 :)

    I didn't have any problems on my US keyboarded AOA150, but the layouts are slightly different between the two.

    amigadude - you get this error if you run system preferences / logitech control centre with no logitech devices attached.

    However, if you open system preferences / international / input menu, you can scroll down and select Logitech UK Intl, and tick 'show input menu in the menu bar'

    That will sort out the problem with the keys. It sometimes reverts back to the "british' layout after a reboot, so you will have to open the international preferences again

    In this case you can use a keyboard shortcut to quickly change between keyboard layouts. Use the Windows(or house) key + space. If it doesn't work, try left ALT + space. It depends on how the modifiers are configured in your keyboard.
