Hey, I am quite new to Mandriva ...

I started using Linux 4 months ago with Ubuntu ...

Recently, heard about Mandriva and giving it a try ...

Everyth works well .... Nvidia and Wireless drivers and everyth ...

But I have this prob ...

I am not familiar the default Myanmar Keyboard Layout provided by X11 ...

So, I needed to change 'mm' layout file in '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/mm' and After that, xorg.conf ...

But it doesn't work ... I don't know what is the prob ...

I have done this before in Ubuntu and it works ....

It is giving me a headache ...

So, help me if you can ...

I am using Mandriva 2009.0 with KDE4.1 ...

Thanks in advance ...

 

This is the code I changed in my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
# generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,mm(zawgyi)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_alt_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin"
EndSection

 

This my locale file from "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/mm"

I changed my Keyboard layout to one of Thai variant ... ( TO TEST )

Configure you computer >> Hardware >> Keyboard Layout >> Thai(Pattchote)

 

Now, My xorg.conf file is like this ..

Section "InputDevice"
# generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,th(pat)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_alt_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin"
EndSection

 

And the Thai layout works by switching the keyboard with Ctrl + Alt ...

So, I tried to change back to my previous one ...

Section "InputDevice"
# generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,mm(zawgyi)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_alt_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin"
EndSection

But, it doesn't work ...

When I changed keyboard Layout using Ctrl + Alt, it changed to Thai Layout ...

What ? I already edited xorg.conf and symbols/mm...

Is there any file else I need to edit ?
