Chapter 25. Localization - i18n/L10n Usage and Setup

FreeBSD supports localization into many languages, allowing users to view, input, or process data in non-English languages

To activate a Russian keyboard, add the following to the "Keyboard" section of /etc/xorg.conf

When I startx, it says "Keyboard" is not a valid section name. I read some xorg.conf(5) and tried an "InputDevice" section with "CoreKeyboard" as an Identifier. Now it says it must have a Driver line. At this point I thought I had better not tinker with that.

So what do I do?

That information is very outdated it seems.

Looks like that. Google AI has helped

This works for me:

Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
 MatchIsKeyboard "on"
 Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
 Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
 Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
EndSection
