I had a look under /etc/X11/xkb/symbols and it seems I have two japanese keyboards one called jp and one pc/jp. The first has english letters as regular letters and letters starting kana for the second (third level I think) keyboardm the other has only the kana version. seems like a different keymap is chosen depending on what you enter, not sure why. you could try backing up /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/ja (or jp as it is here) and copying /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ja over it and see if that works. If it does then it gives a direction for further exploring, if not we will have to try something else (if it works just remember what you did as it will be erased with the next X upgrade). > Thanks > > Ben > > > > > [...] > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System at the Tel-Aviv University CC. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
