Anyway, thanks to Michaels hint, I was able to find out some xmodmap entries. Hurray, hurray, finally I can write mail on my amiga.. --- cut here --- ! This xmodmap input file allows you to get an @ on Amigas with Alt_R 2 keycode 0x6C = Alt_L Meta_L keycode 0x6D = Mode_switch Multi_key clear Mod1 clear Mod3 add Mod1 = Alt_L add Mod3 = Mode_switch ! @ with Alt_R Q as well keycode 0x18 = q Q at ! Euro Sign keycode 0x1a = e E EuroSign ! ° with Alt_R 4 keycode 0x0c = 4 dollar degree --- cut here --- As you see, I put the @ also on the Q, like on PC keyboard (does that work out for french keyboards as well?). There are some other signs which are currently missing, degree, Euro, nearly everything thats on the number keys. And I am wondering why Alt-Gr+Shift does not work, it seems the modifiers are still not fully funtional. Do we need to map all the keys like we did on the console? It seems not, nobody has been shouting for it. But still I wonder where X gets its information for the standard map, reading from the kernel? Why doenst it take all the definitions from the console then, I put _every_ key I could produce on my keyboard under AOS in that but under X most of the special ones are gone again...
