Hi
I have still problems with keymaps switching (but setxkbmap is ok ->
thank you Sean and sorry for mail). When I configure in XF86Config-4
following
Option "XkbLayout" "cz_qwerty"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
then the cz_qwerty is ok but when I use switch combo (alt+shift)
the keymap is really strange - {,[,],} are on keys 7,8,9,0 and other
keys returns fractions, currency symbols ... some keys are blank
there is no newer version of X in woody and I don't know what else
can I do :(
bye
