Description

Hello

I need to plug several USB keyboard on my laptop with fedora core 4. It works well, but all keyboards have the same layout, while I want a different layout for each keyboard.

For example :

                  keyboard 1 -> us qwerty
                  keyboard 2 -> greek...

I made several tries with xorg.conf. Normally it should work, but it did not :

- or all keyboards have the same layout.
- or keyboards and mouse started to have crazy behaviors.

Here is a sample of xorg.conf that should normally works :

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier  "Simple Layout"
   Screen "Screen 1"
   InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
   InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
   InputDevice "Keyboard2"
   InputDevice "Keyboard3"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard1"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Device      "/dev/..."
   Option      "Protocol" "Standard"
   Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
   Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard2"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Device      "/dev/..."
   Option      "Protocol" "Standard"
   Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
   Option      "XkbLayout" "el_GR"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard3"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Device      "/dev/..."
   Option      "Protocol" "Standard"
   Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
   Option      "XkbLayout" "ko"
EndSection
