Linux and Keyboard selection

While installing linux I had selected the keyboard mappings to be U.S. International. But this selection has been creating a few problems for me.

While typing I noticed that the double quotes would'nt come. I had to press the key 3 or 4 times and even after that a wierd looking double quotes appeared. It looked like the tail part had been removed from the actual double quotes.

I tried desperately to look for a solution when I came across the keyboard settings in the "System Settings" menu. I change the keyboard mapping to U.S. and now it works fine.
