32
33 and when all is working as intended with evdev, you may want to add this to be
34 able to write in both Polish and English:
35
36 Option "XkbLayout" "pl,us"
37 Option "XkbOptions"
38 "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
39
40 The Alt+Shift will allow you to toggle between the two language keyboards in
41 X.
