I have seen Lohit-Hindi on the FC4 system and it works fine. I feel that you have to do a few more tweakings in getting the Hindi keyboard working. I need not send it to you, the option of using the eng or dev nagri keyboard is already there within the linux system-I use FC4 and Mandrake10.1 It is easy to switch between devnagri and english layout by simply clicking on the icon which appaears on your system.
