In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf I used to have, in the keyboard section, Option "XkbLayout" "jp,ru(phonetic)" Option "XkbVariant" "jp106" and it worked. Now I can select Russia Phonetic keyboard in Gnome Keyboard Preferences, but then I am stuck with Cyrillic characters only - the switching does not work. The only way out is to remove this keyboard choice and restart X.
And it looks like a specific Japanese keyboard problem. On a machine with a standard US keyboard I run the same Debian version, and am able to select and use "Russia Phonetic" layout. >> For the record, it's a Panasonic CF-R5 laptop. >> (you probably also know that there seems to be no way to *select* an >> appropriate keyboard) > > An appropriate keyboard for what?

I meant "an appropriate keyboard model" for the laptop I am using. (in fact, there seem to be no jp106 keyboard layouts available in Gnome Keyboard Preferences.) When I try printing the keyboard, from Gnome Keyboard Preferences, the output does not show it right (many "extra" keys are not shown). It could be due to non-availability of an appropriate keyboard model.
