|
Hi there.
I can see both flags, us and sk into "Keyboard Layout Handler" but only us keyboard is working. I am not sure if all of my localization config - files are OK. Some informations: | Quote: | localhost / # locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE=sk_SK.utf8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
|
| Quote: | localhost / # locale -a
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
POSIX
sk_SK
sk_SK.iso88592
sk_SK.utf8
slovak
|
and in /etc/conf.d/keymaps I have | Quote: | keymap="us"
keymap="sk-qwerty"
|
What else is necessary to set up? |

From the topic I'm assuming you want to set the keyboard layout in X. The settings in /etc/conf.d/keymap control layout in the console and have no bearing on X. I don't know if it's possible to use two layouts in the console; I'm guessing the later setting (sk-qwerty) from /etc/conf.d/keymap is in effect there.
I never used LXDE, but these commands should work under X in general (use only one):
| Code: |
setxkbmap sk
setxkbmap sk,us -option "grp:shifts_toggle"
|
The latter command will let you switch between the two layouts by pressing both shift keys simultaneously. You'll find the possible layouts under the subdirectories of /usr/share/X11/xkb/. Check inside the appropriate file to see the possible variants; you may want to try adding -variant "qwerty," (omit the comma if not using two layouts) to the above commands. See also the manpage of setxkbmap. |
