keboard switching using XkbOptions does not work

hi, on my laptop i have set switching of keyboard mapping using XkbOptions, as well as on my PC, but on laptop switching does not work. I receive this log warning :

(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

keyboard in xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier    "Keyboard0"
    Driver        "kbd"
    Option "CoreKeyboard"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz"
    Option      "XKbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

Please advice how to make switching work, thanks

Re: keboard switching using XkbOptions does not work

The problem lies somethere in '/usr/share/X11/xkb/' directory. As a temporary solution change 'alt_shift_toggle' to something other, for example to 'ctrl_shift_toggle'. Of course it is a bug. I`ll try to solve it later.

I think I found the solution - if you use XkbOptions and have more than one XkbLayout XkbVariant must be specified. It can be an empty string.
