i've just installed my firt Linux (SUSE 10). went throught install basically ok. but now have some issues to resolve. i'll make separate threads for each. This one i think might be a bug in SUSE Linux.

During the install to the default English-US language i've added Russian and Slovak languages. After the install in YaST i've enabled keyboard layout switching and again added Russian and Slovak layouts in addition to already installed US-English. I also checked option of sticky switching ( = it would switch only between 2 of them when Alt-Ctrl-K shortcut is used).

If i try to switch between English and Slovak it workds great. However, when ever i switch to Russain (from either Eng or Svk) i can't switch back, nothing happens when i press Alt-Ctrl-K - indicator still shows RU in system tray and it still typing cyrillics.

does this sounds like a bug, or am i mising something and there's a way to fix this?


Thank in advance!

You can use the xmodmap command to switch between any number of keyboard layouts. Locate the appropriate files {probably in /etc/X11 somewhere} and the command is: xmodmap file

To make switching simple, you can set aliases in your .bashrc file {assuming you use bash}. For instance, I have dvorak and qwerty each aliased to the home keys in the other layout, so to toggle back and forth I use the left home keys.
