[Localization] XKB based traditional Nepali layout

[Sayamindu Dasgupta]

Hi,
Please follow the steps below to enable traditional Nepali layout in a
8.2 series build:

1. Copy the following files:

http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/trad_np_xkb/locale.dir to /usr/share/X11/locale

http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/trad_np_xkb/np to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols

http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/trad_np_xkb/olpc-session to /usr/bin

http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/trad_np_xkb/.XCompose to /home/olpc



2. Set /home/olpc/.i18n to
LANG="ne_NP.UTF-8"

(note that it is not "ne_NP.utf8")


3. Set /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to
KEYTABLE="us"
XKB_MODEL="olpc"
XKB_LAYOUT="us,np"
XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,olpc"


4. Restart X

Please check the layout against

Devanagari can be quite rusty at times - so there are bound to be
mistakes :-)
