Armenian keyboard layout

OLPC section of the XKB symbol file

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

XkbLayout "us,am"
XkbVariant "olpc2,olpc"

// $XKeyboardConfig: xkbdesc/symbols/am,v 1.10 2006/09/24 19:12:34 svu Exp $

// based on a keyboard map from an 'xkb/symbols/am' file
//
// $XFree86: xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/am,v 1.4 2003/05/29 12:41:58 pascal Exp $
