XFree86 with special charactersForum: X and Fluxbox Topic: XFree86 with special characters started by: Andreas Posted by Andreas on April 13 2007,05:19
After successfully running a full version of XFree86 on my Vaio C1VE there is still a problem to be solved.My chosen language is de-latin1-nodeadkeys. On the console - only outside of X-windows! - all the characters could be generated by pressing AltGr and another key. @, \, German umlauts and so on is easy. Within the X environment only umlauts are possible. If I´m pressing, f.i., AltGr+Q on my German keyboard this should produce @ but there is only a beep from my speaker and nothing goes. I´ve been searching the board, googling the web up and down trying several configurations in my XF86Config-4 but no success. The only thing that seems to work is the following: xmodmap -e "keycode 113 = Mode_switch" xmodmap -e "keycode 24 = q Q at" xmodmap -e "keycode 10 = 1 exclam onesuperior exclamdown" xmodmap -e "keycode 11 = 2 at twosuperior onehalf" xmodmap -e "keycode 12 = 3 numbersign threesuperior threequarters" xmodmap -e "keycode 13 = 4 dollar Ooblique onequarter" xmodmap -e "keycode 16 = 7 ampersand braceleft" xmodmap -e "keycode 17 = 8 asterisk bracketleft oneeighth" xmodmap -e "keycode 18 = 9 parenleft bracketright" xmodmap -e "keycode 19 = 0 parenright braceright" xmodmap -e "keycode 35 = bracketright braceright asciitilde" xmodmap -e "keycode 49 = grave asciitilde degree" xmodmap -e "keysym e = e E EuroSign" xmodmap -e "keysym m = m M mu" Now I´m looking for a way to get this automatically done. Maybe someone found another way... Andreas Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on April 13 2007,13:39
Did you make sure to restart the x server afterwards?You can probably add those xmodmap commands in ~/.xinitrc If you want to change the config around instead, there's quite a number of guides out there, i.e. < http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2003-06/msg00339.php > |
