I have installed debian etch and would like to configure a laptop us
keyboard

how can I do that ?

I've searched and found that this could be done in

/etc/default/console-setup :

XKBMODEL=""
XKBLAYOUT="es"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

or /etc/X11/xorg.conf :

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" ""
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

Now when I get into gnome it says my X11 configuration is diferent then
gnome

Do you have a ~/.[Xx]modmap* file?

Have you run tasksel and selected the laptop option yet? If not doing
that may make life a little better. I just got a Dell latitude c810 last
night with no operating system on it and I'm going to put a form of Debian
Linux on it. So this is something close to my first exposure to laptops.
