| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "en,ru(winkeys)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:rshift_toggle"
EndSection |
/etc/locale.gen:
| Code: | en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
ru_RU.CP1251 CP1251
ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
It's always english.
What information should I provide?

Should be "XkbOptions", with an "s" at the end... 
Mine looks like the following and works just fine...
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Driver "kbd"
Identifier "Keyboard[0]"
# Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,us"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

It was misprint in forum.  There's actually "XkbOptions". Thx, I fixed that in the first post.
The problem still isn't solved. |

It's not the solution to the problem but that's what I came up with: every time I login the following command is ran:
| Code: | | setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -variant ",winkeys" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" -model "pc105" -rules "xorg" |
Half of my keyboard does not work, but it's manageable and I can switch layout. |
