I'll try to hack one up next week (however: never done that before). Especially, I am missing the Compose-Key. Altogether, the documentation for X kbd and keyboard driver absolutely suck :-( How is a normal person supposed to know the proper values for the different fields. From the keyboard manpage: Option "XkbRules" "rules" specifies which XKB rules file to use for interpreting the Xkb- Model, XkbLayout, XkbVariant, and XkbOptions settings. Default: "xfree86" for most platforms, but "xfree98" for the Japanese PC-98 platforms. Option "XkbModel" "modelname" specifies the XKB keyboard model name. Default: "pc101" for most platforms, but "pc98" for the Japanese PC-98 platforms, and "pc101_sol8x86" for Solaris 8 on x86. Option "XkbLayout" "layoutname" specifies the XKB keyboard layout name. This is usually the country or language type of the keyboard. Default: "us" for most platforms, but "nec/jp" for the Japanese PC-98 platforms. Option "XkbVariant" "variants" specifies the XKB keyboard variant components. These can be used to enhance the keyboard layout details. Default: not set. Option "XkbOptions" "options" specifies the XKB keyboard option components. These can be used to enhance the keyboard behaviour. Default: not set. That just a tiny bit of information but by far not enough to understand how to use it! Where do I _look_ _up_ the possible values? It is explained nowhere :-( May this be worth a bug report against xlibs? Or two: one to improve documentation, the other to fix the missing keys. Or is this present, don't know because of crappy docs. There seems to be something in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/sun but I simply do not know how to define those and it's documented nowhere!
