Hello everyone!
How is it possible to enable keyboard layout switching in X? I'm using the Xvesa server.
I've tried modifying the Keyboard section in XF86Config the way I used to in other distros (US and RU layouts switched by Ctrl+Shift), but keyboard switching still doesn't work.

Also: does Xvesa use any special config file or it's possible to configure it with XF86Config?

I don't think Xvesa uses the XF86Config file at all, look at .xserverrc and .xinitrc in the home directory (I don't have DSL around right now, so I may be wrong). Xvesa also inherits the command line keyboard setup.

Hmm, so I wonder how to make Xvesa server allow switching the keyboard layouts?
