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
