Hi, Just picking up on the thread about umlauts, I've been trying to get polytonic Greek input working on my iBook (running Sarge), but have run into the same dead keys problem. I'd like to change keyboard layouts using the handy KDE keyboard layouts tool, in order to get unicode Greek in LaTeX (Kile) and OpenOffice.
Now, this all works fine on various i386 Sid boxes, so the dead keys issue seems specific either to Sarge or to the powerpc port of xkb. Can anyone a) narrow this down further, b) offer suggestions for getting this working with the xkb setup? I'm less keen on hearing about workarounds: my own, esp. for LaTeX, involves using Yudit, but (great piece of kit that it is) it's not exactly as featureful as Kile :-) There's also the related issue of macintosh-specific layouts not being offered by the KDE Control Centre, for which I've seen various workarounds. But the ideal thing to do, presumably, would be to offer further macintosh-specific layouts? I see the macintosh-specific subdirs in /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols (etc.), but the xkb documentation is slightly opaque. Can anyone offer any pointers/suggestions in pushing this forward? Thanks for your time :-) Ian -- Ian Ruffell Tel.: 0141 4233610 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
