Hello everybody,
I'm having some problems with my French keyboard layout. Everything works fine when in console mode but as soon as I switch to X mode with awesome, the problems come.
I've been able to use, in console mode, my French keyboard without any problem (with éà è and #{[|`@ well every key works perfectly.
Here are my modifications:
in /etc/login.conf
then I do a
Then in ~/.login_conf
So for the X mode:
I used the option of ignoring HAL (is it better to use it?). So as said in the manual, in Xorg.conf I did those modifications:
Then:
Then I start X with awesome WM.
I have Xterm and URXVT:
XTERM works fine with all keys that don't require ALT GR. When I try to enter keys like ~#{[|`\^@]} (using ALTGR) it starts showing me some "keys with accent" instead of those one.
URXVT: when trying to use the combination ALTGR+"anything" it starts beeping.
I tried another thing: when doing Mod4(windows key)+r to start a programm. Instead of typing firefox3 (for ex) I tried the ALTGR+"anything" to see if it worked. And it did. I was able to type a {[|@#^`{.
Does somebody know what i'm missing?
Thank you very much
PS: Same in Firefox3, I'm not able to use the ALTGR+"anything" combination.
