Hello!
I've just installed SL 5.4 and find it really fast and stable. However, I
cannot set up multiple keyboard layouts (I need English/Russian/Ukrainian).
I didn't want to use the built-in KDE or Gnome functionality for that purpose
and tried doing that through xorg.conf and hal but without any success.
It works for me via xorg.conf only.
Replace:
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
by two follow lines:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru,ua"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
and restart X server.
Below you find the contents of my xorg.conf,
10-keymap.fdi, /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, and /etc/sysconfig/i18n files.
Thank you!
