OLPC keyboard layouts
English (US international); Spanish (Argentine); Portuguese (Brazilian); Amharic (Ethiopic); Arabic; West African; French; Thai; Urdu; Cyrillic; Turkish; Nepali; Mongolian; Kazakh; Devanagari; Uzbek; Pashto; Dari; Armenian; Khmer; Pulaar; Italian
The procedure for modifying the keyboard layout on your XO is described here.
There are two mechanisms on the laptop that are used to configure the keyboards: one for the console and one for the X Window System (and Sugar).
Console
Console keyboard layout files are in /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386. From the Terminal activity (or the console), you can use the 'loadkeys' program to assign a keymap to the the console. For example:
loadkeys es
for Spanish
loadkeys us
for English
X Window System
X Window System keyboard symbol files are in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. Again, from the Terminal activity (or the console), you can use the setxkbmap to assign a symbol table to the X Window System. For example:
setxkbmap es
for Spanish
setxkbmap us
for US
setxkbmap -layout us,in -variant olpc2,olpc
for US and Devanagari
Making the changes permanent
The above changes are temporary. To make permanent changes, you should use the 'sugar-control-panel' program as described here. For example:
sugar-control-panel -s language Spanish/Argentina
This changes the values in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.
