Re: DWM newbie ! Please help !

You'd better start with Openbox, which has some GUI tools, and autostart.sh (where you can assign setxkbmap stuff etc) is plain sh/bash. So...

Re: DWM newbie ! Please help !

It's relativelly easy by configuring setxkbmap, like:

setxkbmap -option -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle

(add this in autostart.sh)

Re: DWM newbie ! Please help !

You seem not to have tried that, since you also need to specify the languages in the HAL .fdi files in /etc/hal

I have to admit that you were right. It worked this way.

i've tried it before, but I didn't have configured hal for the layouts. Thanks.

Re: DWM newbie ! Please help !

hello,
I have

    { MODKEY,                       XK_a,      spawn,          SHCMD("setxkbmap fr")},

in config.h to switch keyboard.
No need to define something new,  SHCMD is builtin.
