I didn't use setxkbmap, but I applied the same idea to xorg.conf,
and it works:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Elecom Japanese Keyboard "
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "jp106"
Option "XkbLayout" "jp,us"
Option "XkbVariant" "OADG109A,intl" # correct yen symbol
Option "XkbOptions"
"lv3:ralt_switch,compose:lwin,grp:shift_toggle"
EndSection
The only thing is that in us intl mode, the keys map in a weird
combination of jp106/JP and pc105/US.
the ^ ~ key produces = + (as the key in that position would with pc105/US)
but the ¥ | key still produces ¥ | (I guess because there is no equivalent
on a pc105/US keyboard).
Anyway, this should be good enough, since I don't need the AltGr
symbols very often.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers,
