This came out of my original question about having problems with typing |
| 16 |
accented characters into OpenOffice documents under KDE 3.4.3. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The problem is that I need to press AltGr and the quote character to |
| 19 |
obtain a quote. This makes it impossible to enter accented characters |
| 20 |
into an OOo document. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 23 |
Identifier "Keyboard0" |
| 24 |
Driver "kbd" |
| 25 |
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" |
| 26 |
Option "CoreKeyboard" |
| 27 |
Option "XkbModel" "logicdp" |
| 28 |
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl" |
| 29 |
EndSection |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Using this xorg.conf set-up, I can enter the accented characters into |
| 32 |
all other applications apart from OOo under KDE. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
OOo works fine under IceWM, so I'd guess that it's a KDE issue. |
| 35 |
