What I have found only set up an incorrect french-someting-or-other keyboard which almost prevented me from logging in because of a missing character in the mapping. Somebody out there is permanently out to lunch. The true fr_CA keyboard is an elegant way of using both English and French characters on one keyboard. It works beautifully on an XP. Is there any reason why it shouldn't on FreeBSD & xorg. BTW, I use fluxbox as wm and have no interest in either gnome or the k guy. Est-ce qu'il y a une solution pour cette anomalie? -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la plančte, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@ptahhotep.com http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php
