[evdev] german/polish layout

Hello guys,

currently I have the following line in my 10-keymap.fdi that ensures a german keyboard layout:

 <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>

Then I read here that there obviously is a layout called de_pl that offers normal german layout with additional polish signs.

I changed de to de_pl in order to use it, but xorg doesn't seem to know this layout, means my keyboard isn't working anymore.

Does anyone know how the right layout is called that does exactly what I'm looking for?

This would be better than using a switch between german and polish layout.

Thank you.

Looks like there is no de-pl. Maybe somewhere as package or file in the net.
Try pl[1234].

Thank you. The default pl worked.

I'm using it in combination with an edev toogle and it's quite fine.

Regards
