alternatively, you can switch it from the command line (or make a window manager shorcut to do the same), thus not needing to muck with your X settings at all. while i was in paris, i never really got into the whole azerty keyboard thing, so i'd do: setxkbmap us which sets the keyboard layout to std. qwerty. then to go back, setxkbmap fr also, there's a really cool applet in gnome (iirc, think it's gkb, but i haven't used gnome in a while) that displays an image of the flag for the place associated with said keyboard map, and you can set it up so that when you click on it it switches the keyboard map. this was really great if your computer is going to be used by anyone less familiar with cmdlines, or if you just want to say: "hey, watch this!" :). hth --sean On Thu, Oct 24, 2002 at 08:50:37AM +0200, Robert Kratky wrote: > hi, (nazdar) > > 'XkbOptions' is what you want. > for example 'XkbOptions "grp:shift_toggle"' -- switches keyboard > layout by pressing both shift-keys > run 'xf86config' for more options. > > robert > > >Hello > >I need to configure my X 4.1.0-16 in woody on x86 PC to switch between > >different keyboard maps.
