No additional voodoo needed.
I tried this pssobility on my PC and it did not work. Maybe your solution is Mac specific ? (I didn't find a Dvorak key board in the corresponding section of my kcontrol of KDE. Thanks for your message nevertheless ;-) Eventually I returned to LyX-1.3.7, I found a SUSE rpm in the internet. I would prefer a gentoo ebuild but didn't find one. If anybody in this list could send me one I would be grateful. At least my problem si solved in a way that i can start working with lyx. And for the rest i will have to wait for LyX-1.5 Greetings from Munich Hellmut -- Dr. Hellmut Weber Degenfeldstraße 2, D - 80803 München-Schwabing tel (+49 89) 3081172, mobil (+49 172) 8450321 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------
