Description Dennis Schridde 2011-01-04 11:17:19 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

I have two keyboards, one with language A printed on it, the other with language B on it. I would like to set the first to layout A and the latter to layout B.
X.Org / XInput seems to support that, looking at xorg.conf examples.

P.S: The bugtracker component "kcm_keyboard" has the help text "Keyboard configuration module (repeat speed, NumLock, click volume, **keyboard layouts**)" (emphasis by me), while kcm_keyboard_layout ("Keyboard Layouts configuration module") also exists. This is confusing.

Reproducible: Always
