I have two keyboard layouts enabled in the KDE keyboard tool and I want
to be able to switch between them by using some keyboard combination
(for example, CTRL+Shift). I've fiddled with Switching Options and the
xkb options but no matter what options I set, I can't switch via the
keyboard, only by clicking the country flag with the mouse, and the
manual isn't much help. I have an A4 keyboard set up as a "Generic
104-key PC".


Which version of SuSE? I had such issue with versions 9.x and 10.0. I
eventually disabled layouts in KDE and edited xorg.conf manually and
it worked. But in 10.2 it works fine for me. Also it looked like some
of layouts were not properly translated (there were messages in
Xorg.log that some of keyboard files were not found, do not remember
exactly which). So I needed to play with keyboard type. (But Generic
104-key worked, if I remember correctly).

This is a section from my current xorg.conf (10.2), switching with
left or right "Win" key.

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier     "Keyboard[0]"
   Driver         "kbd"
   Option         "Protocol" "Standard"
   Option         "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
   Option         "XkbModel" "sp_inet"
   Option         "XkbOptions" "grp:rwin_toggle,grp:lwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
   Option         "XkbRules" "xfree86"
   Option         "XkbVariant" "xfree86"
EndSection
