Hi list.
Here is the "Iranian" experimental keyboard layout file for X window (xkb subsystem). Installation guides for Yarrow and Tettnang (Fedora Core 1 & 2) are attached, too.
Please send your suggestions and bug-reports to this mailing-list, or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

################################################################################ ### Iranian Keyboard Layout Installing Guide for Yarrow (Fedora Core 1) ### ################################################################################ ### Author: Behnam Esfahbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Sharif FarsiWeb, Inc. ### ### Installation: Download the "ir" file on your machine. (Your can get it from http://www.orkut.com/AlbumZoom.aspx?uid=1974856125494644234&pid=6 anytime) Login a command-line terminal as "root" and run this commands: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc mv ir ir.old Copy your downloaded "ir" file to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/". Now you have the new "Iranian Experimental Keyboard Layout" installed. If you was using "Iranian" layout before this installation, you are done. Otherwise, you need to configure your X server to use "Iranian" keyboard layout as second group layout. ### Configuring X server: Login a command-line terminal as user, and in the terminal enter the following line and hit enter: echo setxkbmap us,ir -option grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll > ~/.Xkbmap Then restart your GNOME session. Now you should be able to switch to Persian by pressing Alt+Shift. The Scroll Bar LED will turn on to indicate the Persian mode. The same Alt+Shift combination brings you back to English mode.

Now do these: - Go to "Applications" -> "Preferences" -> "Keyboard". - Select "Layouts" tab. - Select "Farsi" (*) and then click on the "Add" button. - Now select the "Layout Options" tab. - From the "Group Shift/Lock behavior" select "Alt+Shift changes group", and click on the "Add" button. - And also from the "Use keyboard LED to show alternative group" select "Scroll_Lock LED shows alternative group", and click on the "Add" button. - Now click on "Close" button. Then restart your GNOME session. Now you should be able to switch to Persian by pressing Alt+Shift. The Scroll Bar LED will turn on to indicate the Persian mode. The same Alt+Shift combination brings you back to English mode. (*) This is a bug on xkb, and will change to "Iranian".
