The Kensington bilingual keyboard I use on my MSI All-in-One desktop has a similar language-switching problem, but my bilinuual Aspire One 721-3858 is “stuck” in English. I would like to switch from English to French and vice-versa at will. Does anyone know how I can do this?

I’m thinking of getting one of these because I work in english but otherwise live in french. However, when trying out units on display in shops, none of the “interesting” keys seem to be mapped correctly (I’m interesting in the linpus/linux version). Ie. key with the front-slash, pipe/vertical-bar, and french open/close quotes (“<>”, etc) didn’t work at all as advertised, and I couldn’t get the accented e either. Maybe it’s just a botched installation by the noobs who work at these sorts of places, but I was wondering whether you’re aware if Acer’s linux install actually handles its own bilingual keyboard properly?! Thanks in advance.
