Configuring your keyboard |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
To setup X to use an international keyboard, you just have to create the |
| 23 |
appropriate config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. This example features |
| 24 |
a Czech keyboard layout: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
# nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Section "InputClass" |
| 29 |
Identifier "keyboard-all" |
| 30 |
Driver "evdev" |
| 31 |
Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz" |
| 32 |
Option "XkbModel" "logitech_g15" |
| 33 |
Option "XkbRules" "xorg" |
| 34 |
Option "XkbOptions" |
| 35 |
"grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" |
| 36 |
Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty" |
| 37 |
MatchIsKeyboard "on" |
| 38 |
