Keyboard Applet (help, please!)

[M_Mynaardt]

Hi there!

I was wondering if anyone can help me with the keyboard applet thing. I am using Mint 10 LXDE and Peppermint One OS, and quite like LXDE on the whole. I'm using both as persistent installs on a pair of USB-HDD's.

The only thing I just can't seem to get sorted out is the keyboard selector. I've been able to select keyboards for Spanish and Esperanto. No problem there. But I just for the life of me can't figure out how to add Polytonic Greek keyboard layouts. Granted, this is not an everyday thing for most users. But I will be studying ancient Greek, and that means I need the Polytonic Greek layout if I'm to type much in ancient Greek.

Can anyone give me any ideas how to add the Polytonic Greek keyboard to the keyboard layout applet? I'd be ever so grateful!

Thanks all!

I answered you at the linux mint forum too

1. Open as root, the following file:

Code: Select all

/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

2. Add a line like this one (obviously change the locales at the appopriate ones :

Code: Select all

@setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,gr polytonic

3. Log out.
