Alt-R+a is xmodmapped to ä over here with the same settings that work at a friend's 3.3.3.1 XF86 machine. I run 4.2.1 from testing here and it doesn't:
KeyRelease event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x12800001, root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 669827654, (119,76), root:(745,326), state 0x2000, keycode 38 (keysym 0xe4, adiaeresis), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: "" It produces the correct keysym ("adiaeresis"), but nothing is echoed to my terminal or whatever application. these are the options for the keyboard: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" How can I make it produce the ä character, which is adiaeresis on my system? Where does the error lie? -- Please do not CC me! Mutt (www.mutt.org) can handle this automatically. .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system NOTE: The public PGP keyservers are broken!
