Re: Setup difficulties

I also should have mentioned that I did

in ~/stumpwm.d/modules and if I run

> (load-module "kbd-layouts")

I don't get an error message, so I think the modules themselves
are installed.

The issue is that the symbol `keyboard-layout-list` is in the package `kbd-layouts`. So you need to specify the package, like so: `kbd-layouts:keyboard-layout-list`.

Regarding the higher level keyboard, i assume you mean alt gr/iso level 3 shift? This is an issue with CLX, the xlib library used by stumpwm.

Hope that helps!
