That's what I tried to do above. I'll try to fill the blanks now, if anything is missing, please ask me again so that I can provide more details. > In particular, I am not sure how to load the br_nt layout I don't know how to do it in a non-intrusive way. The way I do is, I copy br_nt file to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ and change /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml to know of br_nt existence, like in http://marcot.eti.br/data/etc/evdev.xml . > --- what program do you use, and does it matter whether chromium is open at > that point? No, I don't think this is related, since the layout is loaded when GNOME is started. Greetings. (...) -- marcot http://marcot.eti.br/ [Flattr=54498]
