I have old (from 1985) IBM keyboard (from old AT - 286). I jist switched
from Debian sid (last updated one year ago) to Debian etch.

I remember I had trouble setting keyboard layouts back than, and I have
again now.

For some reason I had to do following to be able to switch layouts with
alt-shift:

$ setxkbmap -layout de,ru -variant basic,winkeys -option \
-option lv3:ralt_switch,grp:lwin_toggle
$ setxkbmap -layout us,sr,yu -variant ,,basic \
-option lv3:ralt_switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle -option grp_led:scroll


Now it does not work anymore. (sr and yu are gone now, I have cs
instead).

I can use following:

setxkbmap -model pc102 -layout us,cs,cs -variant ,latinyz,basic -option
lv3:ralt_switch,grp:rctrl_toggle -option grp_led:scroll


So I can use ctrl to switch layouts, but not alt-shift. In Kxkb help "If
kxkb does not switch with keyboard shortcut when you switch it to some
layout but switching with mouse is ok may mean that your layout does
not contain the key assigned in shortcut."

Any ideas what to do?
