I install the french port and followed the instruction at http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/using-localization.html; however, I am still not able to. I am using KDE 3.3. When I switch to French keyboard setup in KDE and try to enter a French character, the system just beeps and nothing is displayed. On my Linux box, things work find: I get all the French characters but I just can't seems to make it happen on my FreeBSD box. Any idea as to what I can do to resolve this issue? Thanks much in advance. -Carlton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
