Keymap messed up in Gnome2

I apologize for posting so frequently to these forums. Sometimes I feel like I'm being a pest :lol:

, but the help is greatly appreciated. Anyway...

I just finished emerging Gnome2 (2.0.1-rc1) seemingly without a hitch. Things start up alright, but then I realize my keymap is all mesed up again. I not only have this problem in terminal but in mozilla as well.

I thought it might be tied into XFConfig somehow but I was running Waimea and using xterm with no problems. Any thoughts? I even tried changing "mac-us" to "us" in XFConfig and that didn't do a thing.

Also AA isn't working. I've searched around and I'm apparently I'm not the only one (but again, Waimea was fine). Is this a problem with the build version I'm using?

try "macintosh" not "mac-us" or "us". Worked for me

..Except my arrow keys wont work, still havn't heard anyone who fixed it (on powerbook pismo) on the forums.

I have the feeling that there's really los of keymap-problems on gentoo... I have set se-latin1 to my keymap in rc.conf but it's doesn't get 100% correct, I have to do loadkeys se-latin1 every time I restart... (It's in i386, does that matter mabye?)

Sorry guys about asking this question :oops:

. It turned out that somehow I didn't have the keymap set up correctly in Xfconfig. I use Xautoconfig and it seems to create more than one file and I modified the wrong file. Once I modified the correct file, everything was fine. Thanks for the suggestions.
