keyboard layout problem

[penlix]

Hello,

I have FreeBSD os and I have a problem. I am actually trying to have both English-Greek language and change them with Atl+R-Shift. This is not possible! I now have two languages that I want but the keyboard shortcut is not working...

I have tried:
1) configure it with down-right byt the icon failed!
2) in the xorg.conf file failed!

Basically I do not have xorg.conf in the path: etc/X11/
How can I create one automatically with the system?

Thanks.

I am actually trying to have both eglish-greek language and change them with Atl+R-Shift.

Is this combination actually bound to something, somewhere?

You could simply add lines like the following to the root menu of your window manager:

setxkbmap us
setxkbmap gr

Basically i do not have xorg.conf in the path:

etc/X11/

How can i create one automatically with the system?

(starts from Xorg -configure)

Try running this in your terminal:
$ setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,el (or us,gr or however you select the Greek layout)

If that works, you should be able to put this in your xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
	Driver    "keyboard"
	Option    "CoreKeyboard"
	Option    "XkbRules"  "xorg"
	Option    "XkbModel"  "pc105"
	Option    "XkbLayout" "us,el"
	Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
