Hi,
I'm running kernel 2.4.18pre1 with testing.
I cannot compose characters with Multi_key in Xfree86 4.1.
I have got a Multi_key according to xev
KeyPress event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0xe1,
root 0x58, subw 0x0, time 1386270115, (103,176), root:(245,318),
state 0x0, keycode
aviplay
It is in testing.
Patching kernel 2.4.16 to 2.4.17-rc1 did not do it.
I have had to downgrade binutils to version 2.9.5.0.37-1.
Thank you.

Have you added your burner to the SCSI bus, later? Then check, wether your
SCSI bus is terminated correctly. The device at the end of the cable must be
terminated, only. For some burners you have to set the jumper to disable
termination. That is revers to normal harddrive setting.
Use vim. It's hard to learn, but it is worse it. It's fast.
