Switching layouts in Openbox

I want to add a hebrew layout, and switch between hebrew and english with alt+shift.
This is my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Xorg Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
    Option         "AutoAddDevices" "True"
EndSection

Section "Files"
# Additional fonts: Locale, Gimp, TTF...
#    FontPath     "/usr/share/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/75dpi"

EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Card0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "All"
    BoardName      "All"
    Option "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Card0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

And it does not work
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: Switching layouts in Openbox

Xorg now uses hal for hotplugging by default, and your config does not disable it (Option AutoAddDevices True; if you want to disable it, change this to False). So you need to configure the layouts in some hal config file. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging
