<div class="im">When running as a virtual machine you must install the toolbox for that<br>
software to get higher resolutions, see the bottom of <a href="http://live.osgeo.org" target="_blank">live.osgeo.org</a> for<br>
details.<br>
<br>
The final ISO as in Version 3 when run directly on a computer (boot from<br>
disk) has a much higher default resolution auto-detected from the monitor.<br>
<br>
As for the keyboard layout, alternate layouts are available at the login<br>
screen, and as a finishing touch which unfortunately must be done by<br>
hand we have been adding a keyboard switcher to the panel of the final<br>
product. Try out Version 3 to see what I'm talking about.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
