Gnome Keyboard switching

[slyyls]

Hello,

I have a laptop and need to be able to type in both french and english (canadian). So far, using Gnome, if i try to add a canadian layout, i get an error saying it could be Xorg, could be some library of some sort or something else.

So i tried doing it directoy in Xorg, following the Greek keyboard HOWTO. So i set the following in xorg.conf

Code: Select all

    Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc104"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "us,ca"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

Now when Gnome start, i get about 4 error pop-up boxes and i still can only type in English.

If i set "ca,us" i get a french keyboard only. So i'm currently stuck with either English only, or french only, and the only way to change is to have 2 separate xorg.conf files and restart X.

Does anyone know a better way, or even how to fix Gnome so support both english and french.

thanks,

Sly
