Adding Russian keyboard layout not working
I'm using US English locale and use an us layout keyboard but sometimes I need to view text in Russian with Firefox and type Russian in X. Right now I get empty boxes in OO and empty spaces in xterm.
I have xfonts-cyrillic installed but I don't know how to use it. For example ee (Estonian) layout is working fine with that system. Maybe I'm just missing some fonts? If so, then which ones? Do I need Russian locale just to display Russian? I'm wondering because for other languages I don't need it.Code:Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" EndSection
Debian Sarge 2.6.16.18, icewm, xfree86
I've been trying various tutorials from the web but still no luck.
What am I doing wrong?
