Take the 2-minute tour ×  Now, my goal is to change the keyboard
layout for the entire xubuntu install to my own modded version.
I think the way to do this is to make an X11 keymap and load it
- but as always there is a thousand ways to do things and I'm
open to suggestions.  I have created a modified xkb symbols
keymap that I want to use in my xubuntu installation but I can't
see it in the list of layouts in the settings dialog.  I put the
following into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se  partial
alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "psvorak" { name[Group1]="Sweden -
PSvorak"; include "keypad(comma)" include "level3(ralt_switch)"
key <AD01>  { [odiaeresis, Odiaeresis, dollar, none ]   };  to
no effect.  I also tried to regenerate symbols.dir according to
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-
desktop-74/problem-creating-custom-xkb-layout-605568/ and while
xkbcomp says there are no faults in my file, nothing else
changes. It isn't available in the gui and setxkbmap (with its
very confusing syntax) only responds
