When I install the VMware package the default keyboard layout is "DE", which makes it a bit tricky typing things on an English keyboard. How do you change it? I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changed the layout from "de" to "en" but there is no change?

I tried the sudo trick and it didn't make a difference. I guess editing the x11 config file won't help since the vmware distro wasn't even running X.
