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
