Hi,

I guess the above applies to an external keyboard. Is the keyboard on
Pismo working with Xkb enabled? I had to put XkbDisable in the config
file otherwise it is completely unusable - for example qwe is mapped
to -=BackSpace 

I have the new input layer and

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "macintosh"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection

I'd like to switch to a Czech keyboard layout occasionally but no
success so far even with the dexconf default setting.
cheers
