Hi,
I also have a problem with the keyboard in X, namely I cannot produce accented
characters like à with dead keys. It happens with both the keyboard and the
kbd driver.
I found the cause to be rooted in the following message in X log:
----
expected keysym, got dead_diaresis: line 143 of pc/de
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
> Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
----
I could fix both the error message and the problems with dead keys by editing
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/level3
and changing
key <RALT> {
type[Group1]="ONE_LEVEL",
to
key <RALT> {
type[Group1]="TWO_LEVEL",
I think the problem already appeared in some version of xorg 6.8.2, but I
don't know the exact time, as I don't use accented characters all that often.
Thanks,
Carsten
