My LyX version is 1.1.6fix1, I run on Slackware Linux (7.0 modified a bit). I compiled LyX and, well it's really charming... but there is one problem. I cannot type my national, Polish letters (iso-8859-2). I can read, cut and paste them but not type. Every other application (mainly I use apps from KDE 2.1.1) works well. To get my Polish layout in them i use X server XKB extension, sth like: LeftAlt Meta RightAlt ModeShift ... XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "pc105" XkbLayout "pl" XkbKeymap "xfree86(us)" in /etc/XF86Config and no additional xmodmap files. When tried to use LyX without any *.kmap's i get for example "ł" character which looks like l with a stroke (I guess you don't read this with iso-8859-2 encoding set) when [Ralt]+3 are pressed (keysym : threesuperior), while it should be under [Ralt]+l (keysym : lstroke). When using polish kmap i get no Polish chars at all. I tried to write my own kmap but it seems that keysyms like aogonek, Eogonek, lstroke etc. are completely ignored... Well I feel that the solution might be close, but can't get it. I've never understood these X mechanisms well : - } ??? -- Michał Kułakowski UMM Kraków, Poland mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- "UNIX' my religion"
