Two keyboards with different Layout

[Dieter Ripp]

We are using on our embedded device Linux 2.6.12 with the x-server 6.8.2. 
This device has a fixed Matrix-keyboard and the user can add an additional language depended USB-keyboard. 
Both keyboards can be used parallel on the x-server. So far so good. 
But if we change the layout of the PC keyboard (for Example German PC keyboard map), 
the keys on the matrix-keyboard are also changed. I tried serveral things in the xorg.conf files 
with the InputDevice Section (see below). But without success. 

My question is now. Can I support two keyboards with different Layout ?
Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.
