Can't switch between keybord layouts...
 

Hi there.

I've setup my slack to support my language, but I cannot switch between layouts using the key combination (only by clicking on the flag on the taskbar...)

I ve done everything i used to do for years, but now it ain't working...

Am I missing something????

It doesn't work for me either so I use setxkbmap lng.

but it used to work for me..
for 10.2...

I can't figure out why it doesn't now... *scratch*

I'm using xorg 6.8.2 (not current, as you see).

so do I... :p

You use KDE ? I got same problem with KDE 3.5.2 so I setted switch in the KDE CC for the rest of the DE or WM it works fine.

Or if you use gnome, you could add keyboard changer box into the panel and change it like in windows. Gnome uses setxkbmap, while KDE (as I know) uses its own fonts.

the same problem for me

I searched alot of times on how to do that but i didn't find asolution
I guess this is the most difficult problem I've ever met since searching results many confusing results .

you may check this how to and please tell me if you found it useul because I got confused reading it

also check that :

look man there's still ahope

disable xkdb from control center "disable lay out options "

then add the line you mentioned above then to xorg.conf (you already added it ) then

restart x or even make totally restart

then you will be able to change layouts by alt+shift (but without aflag applet below )

in cas you want to keep xkdb , try some other layout options like alt+ctrol+space
it may work .

but I also still want asolution for xkdb

@IceChant I use KDE 3.5.1, but it didn't work for 3.4.2, as well. The strange is that it used to work...
Since the last time that worked, if I remember well, I ve changed my keybord with a slightely older, could be this??

hackobacko Ive already tried this but... nothing..

It does working man , just disable xkdb and do arestart for x

this is apart of my xorg.conf "input devices "

Daamat! I must be blind,:mad:
I read "disablexkb" (something I'd already done)

Thanks a lot hackobacko!

you are welcome , but I read also many times if you want to activate it from xkdb you have to selct your language as alayout then check
include latin groub
but I don't know where is this option because I edit many files and deleted most other layout options so is it alay out option or waht ?

In control center->keybordlayaout u check the "include latin layout" box.
Is this what u mean?

It didn't work for me, however.
