 |
|
I dont have a clue how to fix this, this has never been any problem untli i installed gentoo, you see, åäö works, and all the other keys that normally works, but not the following. they are totally dead, or, how should i say, they wont respond (i've got a 106keys keyboard);
1. The key located on the right side of the "å"-key, and on top of the "*"-key.
2. The key between the "?+\"-button and "[backspace]"-button.
Those are the keys i really would like to use.. this is my currently X configuration for my keyboard:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc106"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
EndSection

There is no XkbModel named "pc106" if you haven't created it yourself. Try "pc105" instead. |

I have the same problems, especially on my laptop. I got tired of BS advices and SUCKY xfree keymaps, so I emerged kde and activated kde-keyboard tool.
Keymaps have been working for me since xfree 3.x days, until 4.2.99 and later came around. |

I'm not sure what keys you are talking about, but you could try
| Code: | | Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" |
Also, there are keyboard layouts named "se_SE", "se_NO" and "se_FI". |

It makes accents their own characters. Without it you can combine them with other characters, e.g. type <~> + <n> to get <ñ>. Then you need to type <~> + <space> to get just a tilde. |

I have the exact same problem with a swedish keyboard. nodeadkeys makes everything work except "tilde" (I just get a space). Does anybody know how to make tilde work?

I don't think you need the "nodeadkeys" option. I'm using this in my XF86config:
| Code: |
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
|
I have swedish characters working and can type tilde characters. I'm running xfree 4.3.

Thanks,
I couldn't find any important diff. But I found out that using nodeadkeys and feeding
"xmodmap -" with the following line helps:
keycode 35 = dead_diaeresis asciicircum asciitilde dead_caron

This seems to be a bug in xfree. To fix it, replace
| Code: | | key <AD12> { [ diaeresis, asciicircum ] }; |
with
| Code: | key <AD12> { [ diaeresis, asciicircum ],
[ asciitilde, caron ] }; |
near the end of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/se . |

That works when using "nodeadkeys", thanks a lot!
Do you have any idea of how to make it work with dead keys also?

This is really odd, which version of xfree are you running? For me everything works correctly without using the "nodeadkeys" option, and I have a swedish keyboard.

| Exactly the same as mine. Very odd, I also had the problem with the dead tilde key, but that started working again when I started using the pc105 XkbModel. |

Dead keys are not working without / with wrong locale. I do not know details, but I saw threads about it. |

| Maybe thats the difference. What have you your locale settings to? I have LC_CTYPE=sv_SE, which gives me swedish characters in console. I don't think this should affect X, but on the other hand Gnome seems to decide which language to use based on the LANG variable. |

Yep, setting LC_CTYPE=sv_SE helps, even for xterm.
Thanks a lot guys!
