Xfce issue with the keyboard layout

Hello all


I'm trying to configure my keyboard for another layout, but i just can't seem to do it, i've searched the xfce wiki and all


The thing is, i'm doing these changes on the evdev file because i have no xorg-conf file, it's a directory not a file, and in the wiki they say this:

Add the XkbLayout Option to your xorg.conf-file. Here is an example if you want to use german and russian keyboard-settings:

  Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Keyboard0"
  Driver      "kbd"
       Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
       Option      "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
  EndSection

While my edev file usually looks like this

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

And i changed it to:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Keyboard0"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "XkbLayout" "pt"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection


Really need a little hand here, thanks in advance

Re: Xfce issue with the keyboard layout

I know it's marked solved, but instead of playing around with config files, why not simply add the keyboard layout applet to the Xfce panel?

Cheers.
