Hello, I've recently installed FreeBSD on my laptop, fetched the kernel sources to upgrade from 4.8-RELEASE to 4.8-STABLE, and now i'm trying to make these dead-keys working under XFree :) Well, it doesn't work at all. 8 bits caracters are perfectly supported by the terminal (aterm), since i can see them if i switch to a french keyboard mapping. Usually i use a dvorak keyboard mapping. Although i've used xmodmap to set up Mode_switch or Multi_key keys, i still can't get dead-keys working. Here is my XF86Config file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" option "xkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" EndSection For example, i've checked the keycode of the right alt key with xev, and bound it to Multi_key, but without any success. Or bounding a 'dead_grave dead_circumflex' to another key didn't work either. That's weird, it's the first time i can't make these dead-keys working. Could it be a laptop issue? (Toshiba Satellite 3000). Thanks in advance, Florian Ponroy. -- L'amour... Il y a ceux qui en parlent et ceux qui le font. A partir de quoi il m'apparait urgent de me taire. Pierre Desproges
