Hello!

 I've just installed SL 5.4 and find it really fast and stable. However, I 
cannot set up multiple keyboard layouts (I need English/Russian/Ukrainian). 

I didn't want to use the built-in KDE or Gnome functionality for that purpose 
and tried doing that through xorg.conf and hal but without any success. 

Below you find the contents of my xorg.conf,  
10-keymap.fdi, /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, and /etc/sysconfig/i18n files.

Thank you!
