Hi, I'd like to configure X for multiple keyboard layouts, e. g.: - french - swiss french - german On my Linux box (running CentOS 5.4 and a dated version of X.org), the configuration for this looks like this : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr,ch,de" Option "XkbVariant" ",fr," Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle" EndSection This stanza enables me to toggle between different keyboard layouts, using the [Alt]+[RightShift] key combination. You might wonder about the XkbVariant option: the swiss keyboard layout has two variants: fr and de. This is to indicate the swiss roman layout. Now is there any way I could achieve a similar thing with the more recent X.org shipping with FreeBSD 8.0 ? Any suggestions ? Niki Kovacs
