Dear Sirs.

It is one stream of struggle ...

I already set up a bunch of FreeBSD clients around here and they are
mainly equipted with German keyboards.

In kernel I configure the SC console on those machines which need
to be equipted with German keyboards and those which are equipted with
ASCII keyboards I prefer PCVT console driver.

Well, I will talk about the SC console driven machines. When switching to
console, I got my German keyboard, but in X11 in xterm I do not have
any German character I need! Why? I configured in XFree the right keyboard
but this won't work correct because I do not have "a, "o, "u and the other
characters. I have had these problems under XFree 4 also and especially in 
conjunction with FreeBSD.

TERM is set to xterm-color ... are there other environment variables which
are involved?

Thanks in advance,

Oliver
