Of course, this can be also done at runtime using utility setxkbmap. Shell
command loading the same keyboard mapping would look like:
- setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc104 -layout us -option ""
+ setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc104 -layout us -option ""
The configuration and the shell command would be very analogical for most
other layouts (internationalized mappings).
2.2 Advanced Configuration
-Since XFree86 4.3.x you can use multi-layouts xkb configuration. What does
-it mean? Basically it allows to load up to four different keyboard layouts at
-a time. Each such layout would reside in its own group. The groups (unlike
-complete keyboard remapping) can be switched very fast from one to another by
-a combination of keys.
