1 Hello,
2
3 I want to setup hal to enable me switching between two keyboard layouts.
4 My original configuration in xorg.conf is:
5 Section "InputDevice"
6 Identifier "Keyboard0"
7 Driver "kbd"
8 Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
9 Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz"
10 Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:num"
11 EndSection
12
13 I've searched web and got some information, but I'm doing something wrong.
14
15 I've created file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi and configure it like:
16 <device>
17 <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
18 <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">pc104</merge>
19 <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">us,cz</merge>
20 <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
21 type="string">grp:shifts_toggle</merge>
22 </match>
23 </device>
24
25 I have installed hal and running hald. The xorg-server version is 1.5.3-r6.
26
27 Thanks for help
