Hello!
I'm using X.Org X Server 1.6.5. I tried to add a custom XKB layout for serbian
on US keyboard. So, I've added the following to "/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us":
// Serbian charecters added as third level symbols to US keyboard layout.
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "serbian" {
name[Group1]= "USA - Serbian";
include "us(basic)"
include "level3(ralt_switch)"
key <TLDE> { [ grave, asciitilde ] };
key <AE06> { [ 6, dead_caron, asciicircum, asciicircum ] };
key <AC09> { [ l, L, U1C9, U1C8 ] };
key <AB06> { [ n, N, U1CC, U1CB ] };
key <AB01> { [ z, Z, U1C6, U1C5 ] };
key <AD03> { [ e, E, EuroSign, cent ] };
key <AC03> { [ d, D, dstroke, Dstroke ] };
key <AC11> { [ dead_acute, quotedbl, apostrophe, U315 ] };
key <SPCE> { [ space, space, nobreakspace, nobreakspace ] };
};
At the same time I've added following to the "/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst":
serbian us: Serbian on US keyboard
And to the "/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.xml" (to the us layout):
<variant>
<configItem>
<name>serbian</name>
<description>US keyboard with Serbian support</description>
</configItem>
</variant>
After restarting X I've got:
% setxkbmap -layout us -variant serbian -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of layout variant
Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from xorg:
model: pc105
layout: us
variant: serbian
options: grp:caps_toggle
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete+ledcaps(group_lock)
symbols: pc/pc(pc105)+pc/us(serbian)+group(caps_toggle)+group(caps_toggle)
geometry: pc(pc105)
Error loading new keyboard description
I'm sure I've done something wrong, but I can't get what exactly. Anyone
knows?
Thanks in advance.
