the explanation is not convincing - somebody goofed. My ibook doesnt have his problem - it has two devnagiri keyboards, two for gujarati, two for gurmurkhi and 3 for tamil - all correctly named. So why cant Xorg do the same - or has no one complained to them? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
