I've fiddled with Switching Options and the xkb options but no matter what options I set, I can't switch via the keyboard, only by clicking the country flag with the mouse, and the manual isn't much help. I have an A4 keyboard set up as a "Generic 104-key PC".
Which version of SuSE? I had such issue with versions 9.x and 10.0. I eventually disabled layouts in KDE and edited xorg.conf manually and it worked. But in 10.2 it works fine for me. Also it looked like some of layouts were not properly translated (there were messages in Xorg.log that some of keyboard files were not found, do not remember exactly which). So I needed to play with keyboard type. (But Generic 104-key worked, if I remember correctly).
This is a section from my current xorg.conf (10.2), switching with left or right "Win" key.
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Driver "kbd" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru" Option "XkbModel" "sp_inet" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:rwin_toggle,grp:lwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbVariant" "xfree86" EndSection
That didn't work either (openSUSE 10.2), however I've just found that KDE Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts has an option for switching between keyboard layouts.
