Friends,

Here's a patched version of kannada itrans input scheme for SCIM, m17n. (Find the file attached to this post). Here are the instructions to use it:

(Assuming that you've installed SCIM and m17n, m17n-db on your favourite Linux Distribution)

* Login as root (or use sudo, fakeroot or anything similar).
* Unzip the file to /usr/share/m17n/

Reboot by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Backspace.

Change Log:

The following letters have been re-mapped or added.

ಋ - Ru (changed - was previously RRi)
ೠ - RU (changed - was previously RRI)
ಳ್ಳು - LLu (added)
ಏ - E or ee (added)
ಌ - Lru (changed)
ೡ - LRU (changed)
* - for ಶ್ರ, ^ for ತ್ರ - removed. (special keys needed only for Sanskrit and Hindi, not for Kannada)

and few more other minor changes.
