[RULE] TinyX-4.3.0-6RULE (kdrive with xkb) Howto?

[Richard Kweskin]

Hello All

Living in Greece, I want to try through xkb to get an additional layout for Greek. Thus Michael recompiled the TinyX package with xkb.

Slinky at version 0.3.96 is still using the smaller package, TinyX-4.3.0-5RULE which hasn't got xkb.

Now to my question:

If XFree86 were being used, these additions to the keyboard section of XF86Config would make xkb work as desired:

Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel"   "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout"   "us,el"
Option "XkbOptions"  "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

But Xvesa does not use this config file. Instead, some extra parameters are added in the startx script, e.g.

defaultserverargs="-screen 800x600x24 -2button"

(which is all that is needed to get a working resolution and color depth while emulating a 3 button mouse.) 
What additional parameters will do the trick?

Looking in /etc/X11/sysconfig/xkb/README.config a reference is made to setxkmap and how to alternatively get the options above to run but there doesn't seem to be a setxkmap in my minimal system.

Suggestions anyone??

Richard
