Description Heinrich Wendel 2005-05-04 04:40:54 UTC 
For German Keyboards XkbVariant is a very usefull option, it would be nice if 
it would be configurable via lts.conf like the other Xkb-Settings.

Created attachment 6294 [details]
added the XKBVARIANT variable to build_x4_cfg
Comment 2 Daniel Struck 2006-07-21 07:51:45 UTC 
Indeed this would be very useful, also for the "ch"-keyboards where an "fr" and
a "de" variants exists.

I did the following modifications on my local installation:

my lts.conf now has an xkbvariant variable
--------------------------------------------------------
[Default]
	XkbLayout	= ch
	XkbVariant	= fr
	XkbModel	= pc105
...
--------------------------------------------------------

To the file build_x4_cfg I added the xkbvariant, see the attached build_x4_cfg
--------------------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier  "Keyboard0"
       Driver      "keyboard"
       Option      "XkbLayout" "${XKBLAYOUT:-"us"}"
       Option      "XkbVariant" "${XKBVARIANT:-""}"
EndSection
--------------------------------------------------------

Greetings,
Daniel
