I normally use "us" keymap as my primary, and "cz" with "qwerty" variant as secondary and use both "shift" keys to switch between them. I tried using both /etc/default/console-setup: XKBMODEL="evdev" XKBLAYOUT="us,cz" XKBVARIANT=",qwerty" XKBOPTIONS="grp:shift_toggle" and XML file with appropriate keys in /etc/hal/fdi/policy (that worked in Jaunty): <match key="info.capabilites" contains="input.keys"> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">base</merge> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">kbd</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">pc105</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">us,cz</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">grp:shift_toggle</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbVariant" type="string">,qwerty</merge> </match> n get this behaviour if I use for example xfce4-xkb-plugin, getting it to work with "plain X11" (for example in OpenBox sessions) seems to be impossible. I'm reasonably sure this isn't wrong configuration on my part, because when booting to a console session and then doing "startx", everything works as it should. If I however use a graphic login (GDM), they keyboard settings are busted - starting with the login screen (can't change keymap when entering my username). The keyboard settings get passed to X.org (they're shown in the xorg log), but ignored - doing "setxkbmap -print" results in: dragon@yarlagash:~$ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; After setting it manualy with "setxkbmap -layout "us,cz" -variant ",qwerty" -option "grp:shift_toggle", it all works like I charm. I guess I coud work around this by calling setxkbmap at start of every session, but it doesn't sound like a "kosher" solution. I triggered this bug with both Ubuntu and Xubuntu, however I'm not sure if it didn't start manifesting only after "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" in Ubuntu - I did a clean install afterwards to make sure this isn't a side-effect of the conversion. I checked that this is not a ThinkPad-oddity bug by installing Slackware 13 on the same machine - it works there just fine (KDM as a login manager there).
