I'm trying to add a Romanian layout and I don't know how.
Most of the topics I've seen are OLD. They may or may not've worked with previous xorg versions, I don't know. They certainly didn't for me.
Please help.
Here's my xorg.conf:
# Section "ServerFlags"
# Option "ignoreABI" "True"
# EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Files"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb,ro"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 30.0 - 110.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 150.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
VendorName "nVidia Geforce 7025"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Adding this didn't help:
Option "XkbLayout" "gb,ro"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
One of the sections that file will be for keyboards. Add your options into that section.

Believe me I tried that... 3 hours ago. Apparently many people had this issues after switching to xorg 1.9. I'm out of ideas.
Please help.
Somehow I managed to clean up my conf files (at least I think they're clean) and start from scratch:

Setting Keyboard Layout With Hot-Plugging
To permanently change your keyboard layout, add the following to xorg.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
EndSection
Note that this is in an InputClass Section and not the InputDevice section for the keyboard.
Take special notice of the last line.

The kind people from the IRC channel suggested I add this bit at the very end of the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file (instead of "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf" - tho it would've probably worked that way too):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ro"
Option "XkbVariant" "std"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle, grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
Apparently it works. I just have to hold AltGr and press s, q , a, i, t, etc to type ș â ă î ț etc. But how do I set it to ; { } ] ' ", etc, like the default behaviour in Windows... ? I would like them to correspond to this layout.
Because this is not the "standard" ("std") version...
I may have to edit the "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ro" file to map them.
Unless there's a better way ?

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ro(std)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle, grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
Done.
One little issue remains, regarding fbxkb (keyboard layout indicator) and tint2: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109937
Maybe someone has an idea. Thanks.
