Hello, I have a Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A and am trying to type in Hindi in OpenOffice under KDE 3.4.3. I am facing problems in typing special characters like sri and tra. Also as shown in devanagri keymap when I use number keys with "Shift" key, I should get special characters but instead I get the actual symbols that are drawn on keyboard (screenshots attached for reference).
Since xorg does not support my keyboard, I am using an alternate keyboard layout "Microsoft Internet Keyboard". I have also tried using "104 keys keyboard" layout but that didn't help either. On the other hand, using Hindi keyboard with traditional hindi layout on Windows XP works well in OpenOffice with all characters working smoothly. Please help me and give me some ideas on how to go about solving this problem. Do I need to use some alternate keyboard model? Can I use Windows' keyboard layout in Linux? Is it a problem with the layout of the keyboard model I have selected? I have searched but found nothing helpful. Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
