As the title says, I'm interested in two (or more) simultaneous keyboards, each with a unique layout.
Everything I've researched indicates this should be possible, but I'm unable to get it to work. Regardless of how I set things up, all keyboards consistently operate as if they share the CoreDevice setting in xorg.conf. For example:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Keyboard1"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "ad"
EndSection
In the above config, both keyboards behave as if they're set for the USA layout. Changing the layout in gnome-keyboard-properties affects all of the connected keyboards equally, but has no provision for altering individual devices.
Any suggestions?
