XFree 4.3.0 Changed keyboard layout handling, Now you need to specify both
layouts, this is what I have in my XF86Config regarding the keyboard:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbCompat" "group_led"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
Replace the il layout with the one you preffer.
Now you can switch layouts with alt+shift (left alt), and the scroll lock led
will indicate it.
You can also temporary type using the other layout while holding down the
right alt key, without the need to change layouts. When you'll release it,
the layout will go back the the current one.
