Thanks so much, I made it work.
I edited the config.cfg to contain:
kbd: /.rockbox/VIlayout.kbd
with the VIlayout.kbd file in the .rockbox directory.
Thanks, I can now use the Keyboard.
Edit: Decided it was best to add a .and a / also.
BTW, The files must be in UTF-8 encoding and you must reboot for the changes to take effect.
