I think bios setup offers that option until linux takes over and decides 
to do something else. The means of doing this if bios is being 
overridden depends on whether you are talking X11 or console. In X11, 
assuming Redhat (ymmv), you could probably add an xset command somewhere 
in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/, e.g., write a script "MyKeyboardSet.sh" 
which is a bash script that does the xset line. I forget which command 
it is, but there is something similar for console mode, that can go in 
shell startup scripts (depending on the shell).
