Installation

• Copy the layout to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols
• Add the following in some nice location in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml

    <layout>
      <configItem>
        <name>frost</name>
        <!-- Keyboard indicator for Swedish layouts -->
        <shortDescription>frost dvorak</shortDescription>
        <description>Swedish</description>
        <languageList>
          <iso639Id>swe</iso639Id>
        </languageList>
      </configItem>
      <variantList>
        <variant>
          <configItem>
            <name>dvorak</name>
            <description>Swedish (Frost Dvorak)</description>
          </configItem>
        </variant>
      </variantList>
    </layout>

• Add the following somewhere under ! layout in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst (I usually put it close to the regular swedish one)

  frost           Swedish (Frost Dvorak)

• Add the following somewhere under ! variant in the same file

  dvorak       frost: Swedish (Frost Dvorak)

• Run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data

• Select your (well, my) preferred keyboard layout in the keyboard layout settings

• If you want, also modify /etc/default/keyboard to something like this

XKBLAYOUT=frost
XKBVARIANT=
BACKSPACE=guess
