Switching keyboard layouts in Xfbdev?

(1/2) > >>

Scampada:
Anybody knows how to get layout switching working using Xfbdev?

Xserver: Xfbdev
Window manager: dwm

I tried using setxkbmap but got an error:
XKB extension not present on :0

So, it looks for me that xkb tools are designed for use with Xorg only.
I was also able to get needed characters with xmodmap, but as far as I could understand I only could type them holding the 'Super' modificator. It's not quite comfortable. What should I do to get a permanent layout switch? Is it possible for Xfbdev?

curaga:
TinyX uses the keymap from the console. I don't think it's possible to use two layouts switched by a button, at least traditionally (you could bind that key to xmodmap invocations through your WM or other method).

Scampada:
Okay, can you please give me a hint for easy binding a key to some kind of xmodmap (or other) invocation? I don't know what should I google. DWM, Xfbdev (it's TinyX now?).

I can make two different xmodmap map files, then and rotate them by pressing a key button.

Scampada:
Okay, okay, sure, it's something about xbindkeys. Sorry for bothering.

Scampada:
Йоб done!
