I have added UA-Ukrainian keyboard layout to /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file. Now it looks like: KEYTABLE="us" MODEL="pc105+inet" LAYOUT="us,ua" KBD_NUMLOCK="yes" OPTIONS="grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll" I am using Gaps Lock key to switch layout and scroll lock led as an indicator. NOTE: you need to restart your X session in order changes to take effect.
