Symbol Table

OLPC section of the XKB symbol file

To use the XKB Pashto layout along with US layout, you may need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This will make "us" the first and "af" a second layout:

XkbLayout "us,af"
XkbVariant "olpc2,olpc-ps"

// from xkb/symbols/af
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "olpc-ps" {
