Thank you guys for the advice. This is not exactly what I need. The solutions you propose allow to set up just one keyboard layout while what I need is to be able to use several different keyboard layouts with different languages. It was possible in KDE 1.1.2 with kikbd and looks impossible in KDE 2.1 Maybe KDE 2.1 is not ready for prime time. I wish I were wrong with this opinion. -Kastus On Tue, Mar 06, 2001 at 09:52:55AM +0000, Tor Sigurdsson wrote:
The trick seems to be:
in /etc/rc.config export the LANG variable for your country
in /etc/X11/XF86config or /etc/XF86config reorder the font directories so that your fontsets are first in line ( I recommend having the /75 and /100 fonts first, before the /75:unscaled etc. )
This should fix the language problems you guys have had with vi/konsole et al.
It fixed my problems at least :>

XFree86 4.0.2, KDE 2.1
I found some program called kxkb. System seems to switch something after I started this thing, but no non-ascii characters may be input in vi :-(
It was so simple in KDE 1.1.2. <sigh>
Now here are some options maybe you have tried them all.
1)disable XKB in your XF86Config file (this will help you top use whatever keyboard layout you are using under console to be used for X) 2)make sure you have the proper LANG set (now Although I do not feel this necesary since keyboard layout should have nothing to do with the language with out this one I seem to get ? marks instead of the proper nonascii letter) 3) There is a package called xkbsel (sorry I do not remember where exactly I got it but I do remember finding it at freshmeat)
Hope these helps
