=== I am developing on an XO laptop, but my keyboard and language settings are not ideal. How can I change them? ===

Internationalized laptops will often have settings that might slow you down while developing. To change around the language settings so you can better understand environment messages, use the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Control_Panel sugar-control-panel].

Keyboard settings on internationalized laptops<ref>[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboard_layouts#OLPC_keyboard_layouts]</ref> can also be suboptimal, especially as characters like "-" and "/" are in unfamiliar positions. You can use the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboard_layouts setxkbmap command] in the terminal activity to reset the type of keyboard input used and then attach a standard U.S. keyboard that will allow you to type normally. The command below sets the keyboard to the US mapping (it will reset to the default internationalized mapping upon restart).
