Especially I miss the pipe symbol ('|'), but there are some more like '§', '@', '€'. I compiled KDE on my own computer running a FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE kernel. All packages are up to date. Any hints? If I use an SSH connection (PuTTY), everything is fine.
I created a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file using
# X -configure
and added/changed the following section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
The last Option line isn't necessary, but it makes it possible to
terminate the X server by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, which has been
deactivated in recent default configurations.
If you add the above mentioned Section "InputDevice", make sure that
the Section "ServerLayout" contains a CoreKeyboard entry matching the
given identifier. In my case, Section "ServerLayout" looks like:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Clone" "off"
EndSection
