Hi,
I just installed FreeBSD 7.3 (canned distribution "All"), and I managed to configure X. TWM comes up fine. I fiddled with various keyboard layouts in xorg.conf (french, german, swiss french), and it sort of works, except I don't have any special characters, e. g. é, à , à , ö, ä, ü and the likes.
I'm a long-time Linux user since Slackware 7.1, but completely new to FreeBSD (nobody's perfect :e). I wonder if there's some additional step to take for having correct special chars, like installing special fonts or the likes.
One other detail: in the console (where I defined a swiss french keyboard) I don't have accented characters either, but on my main desktop PC (running CentOS Linux 5.4) I do have them in the console.
