Maybe you are lucky and AltGr + e will give you the eurosign with your normal keyboard layout. To diagnose the rest of your problems, please post the output of setxkbmap -print xmodmap before and after you make the changes to the keyboard layout. > Also, although I chose the 'us keyboard' layout, type-over doesn't want > to work (as it did in Fedora). I'd really like to use the feature that > typing 'e gives an 'accented e' and so on. How can I get there? Remove the XkbVariant "nodeadkeys" entry in the keyboard section of your xorg.conf and/or (un)check the corresponding option in your DE's keyboard configuration menu. > Also there is the power saving issue that Hibernate and Suspend don't > want to work (as it did in Fedora, so the problem is not with the laptop > and/or its BIOS), but I posted that already on the debian-laptop list. Installing the "hibernate" package is normally a good start. Nevertheless, you will probably have to try a few configuration options before you find a combination that works. (The package comes with well-documented example configurations.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
