I still don't see that it has got anything to do with UFT-8. My X |
| 36 |
configuration looks like this: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 39 |
Identifier "Keyboard1" |
| 40 |
Driver "kbd" |
| 41 |
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" |
| 42 |
Option "CoreKeyboard" |
| 43 |
Option "XkbModel" "pc105" |
| 44 |
Option "XkbLayout" "dk" |
| 45 |
EndSection |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
In kcontrol - Regional & Accessibility - Keyboard Layout there is a box called |
| 48 |
"Enable keyboards layouts". This overrides the X settings. So if it works in |
| 49 |
IceWM just disable it. That's what I did. And I have no problems with any of |
| 50 |
those characters (áàéèíìóòöuúù€'") in Openoffice either. |
