   Is that the only key that is wrong, or could it be that your entire   
   keyboard mapping is US/english?   
      
   Initially during installation you make a choice about keyboard layout,   
   however that layout only applies to the text console. If you are running   
   X you will by default get a US keyboard layout.   
      
   To fix this, copy the file   
   /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout.conf to the directory   
   /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and edit the new file.   
      
   If, however, you are experiencing this weirdness in the text console, a   
   good place to search for causes is the startup script   
   /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap .   
      
   regards Henrik
