<P>You can set keyboard behavior as you like by using <CODE>loadkeys</CODE>

in this directory. Here is a sample.

<P>Suppose you save this file as <CODE>thai.map</CODE>. From Linux console, use command

You can switch to Thai keyboard by pressing the right Alt key. If you want to
switch the keyboard back, press the right Alt key again.

<H2><A NAME="xwindow"></A> <A NAME="ss2.2">2.2 X Window system</A>
</H2>
<H3><A NAME="install_fonts"></A> Thai fonts</H3>
<P>You can obtain Thai fonts in bdf format or
pcf format from internet. You can also use scalable fonts such as Type1 or
TrueType fonts. But I will not describe about these.
<P>
<P>
<H3>Installing Thai fonts</H3>
<P>You must log in as root. Let's put Thai fonts in
<CODE>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/</CODE>, this is a default font path. Change directory to
<CODE>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/</CODE> and run command
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
%mkfontdir
%xset fp rehash
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
If you put Thai fonts in different directory, you must use <CODE>xset</CODE> to add
the new font path. Please see man-page for further information.
You can check the new fonts by running command <CODE>xlsfonts</CODE> and see whether
there are Thai fonts or not. If you can not see any Thai fonts from this
command, you may need to restart X window.
<P>
<P>
<H3>Thai keyboard layoutThere are two ways to map Thai keyboard on X window, using X KeyboardExtension (XKB) and using <CODE>xmodmap</CODE>. Please select how you map Thai keyboard. Irecommend using XKB.</H3>
<P>
<H3>XKB and Thai keyboard layout.</H3>
<P>Beginning with XFree86 3.1.2D, you can use the new X11R6.1 XKEYBOARD
extension to manage the keyboard layout. This is
very helpful.
<P>During X server configuration with <CODE>xf86config</CODE> you will be asked
about XKB, if you want to to set Thai keyboard layout for your system,
say yes. There are a list of pre-configured keymaps. Choose Standard
101-key, Thai encoding.
<P><CODE>XF86Setup</CODE> is the graphical X server configuration utility for XFree86 X server.
It is easier than traditional <CODE>xf86config</CODE>. You can
select a keyboard layout easily with this tool.
<P>Ther are many choices of keyboard switch key to select. The default is
LeftAlt+RightShift switch to Thai and LeftAlt+LeftShift switch to US. You can
type Thai characters in any applications which support ISO-8859-1 character
set, but don't forget to use Thai fonts with those applications too.
<P>I found that pre-configured keymaps that came with XFree86-3.2
is not correct. You may not be able to type
THO THUNG which located at &quot; 5 key &quot; . To fix this problem, you should
add the line
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
key &lt;AE05> { [], [ paragraph, ocircumflex ] };
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
in the file <CODE>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/th</CODE> as the example.
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
.................
key &lt;AE03> { [], [ minus, ograve ] };
key &lt;AE04> { [], [ Agrave, oacute ] };
key &lt;AE05> { [], [ paragraph, ocircumflex ] };
key &lt;AE06> { [], [ Ooblique, Ugrave ] };
key &lt;AE07> { [], [ Odiaeresis, ssharp ] };
.................
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
You can not type SORUSI also. Please change the line from
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
key &lt;AC08> { [], [ Ograve, eacute ] };
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
to
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
key &lt;AC08> { [], [ Ograve, Eacute ] };
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
Note that eacute is equal to MAITHO and Eacute is equal to SORUSI.
<P>There are also XKB extension utilities such as <CODE>setxkbmap</CODE>,
<CODE>xkbcomp</CODE>, etc. Please see man-page for more information. I recommend to
use <CODE>xkbvled</CODE>. The leds will be on when you are using Thai keyboard so you
can know your keyboard's status.
<P>The following is part of <CODE>XF86Config</CODE> file
about keyboard section. If you want to configure the keyboard by hand, change
the content of <CODE>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config</CODE> as an example
below. This configuration uses the default toggle key.

<P>If you use XKB extension, Thai keyboard mapping with <CODE>xmodmap</CODE> may not work.
See <CODE>XF86Config</CODE> man-page for mor information.
<P>
<H3>Thai keyboard layout with xmodmap</H3>
<P>You can use the utility <CODE>xmodmap</CODE> to map Thai keyboard.
Normally <CODE>xmodmap</CODE> is used to load a keyboard configured file.
For most Linux distributions,
when you start X window with <CODE>startx</CODE>, X server will find <CODE>.Xmodmap</CODE> in
<CODE>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/</CODE> first. If <CODE>.Xmodmap</CODE> does not exist, X
server will find <CODE>.Xmodmap</CODE> in your home directory. Please see the content of
<CODE>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc</CODE>.
<P>The following is the sample of <CODE>.Xmodmap</CODE> for Thai Kedmanee
keyboard layout.
<P>

<CODE>XF86ModeLock</CODE> is the special keysym for XFree86 X server. If you
don't add this keysym, you have to hold the scroll lock key while you
are typing Thai characters. Note that if you use commercial X server, some
keycodes are different. You may have to map keyboard by yourself.
See man-pages of <CODE>X</CODE> and <CODE>xev</CODE> for further information.
<P>
<P><B>Note:</B> If you are using XFree86 version 3.1.2D or later, you need to
add the line <CODE>XkbDisable</CODE> in keyboard section of
<CODE>XF86Config</CODE> file. You may config the keyboard section
like the following sample.
