Ok. According to:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/02/msg00418.html
the original mail conveys a wrong suggestion.
However, what about telling users in
man kbd
how to find out possible available values for
XkbLayout
XkbVariant
XkbOptions
so that people like me would find their way?
I am thinking about something like:
----------------------------------------
... XkbModel ...
Known keyboard models are described
in `/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst'.
... XkbLayout ...
Known keyboard layouts are described
in `/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst'.
... XkbVariant ...
Known variants for particular keyboard layouts
are described in `/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst'.
... XkbOptions ...
Known options are described in
`/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst'
----------------------------------------
and adding there a comprehensive example, such as:
----------------------------------------
EXAMPLE
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,sk"
Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:menu_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
----------------------------------------
together with its meaning:
---------------------------------------
In this case users can switch between two layouts:
- us (its default `basic' variant)
- sk (its `qwerty' variant)
by pressing so called "context menu" key.
----------------------------------------
?
I would send a patch but the manual page seems to be written directly in nroff
and today it is too
late for me to learn that markup.
Best regard,
