Re: [Valai-admin] TamilVP - phonetic keyboard already exists ?

[Thuraiappah V. <t_...@ya...>]

TamilVP is not (yet) well integrated into the X infrastructure. It
needs to be launched separately. Also, it hard codes the mode switch
key (to F11?), causing the program to fail if the Window Manager had
already grabbed the specified key.

These problems could be resolved by porting TamilVP to XIM and/or a
GNOME/KDE input module. I believe that Dinesh has already started work
to work towards that goal. In the meantime, Linux distros that support
Tamil, (e.g. Mandrake), could configure TamilVP to launch automatically
when a Tamil desktop is selected and make sure that there are no
conflicts in the mode-switch key.

BTW, the (approx) TamilVP keyboard layout is here:

README file)
