Hi again! Further facts on keyboard problems:
- after removal of XF86Config nothing changes - connecting to a Solaris machine running CDE inside the session works fine but the Linux machine running KDE still has problems - on the Linux machine: when pressing AltGr then the following appears inside the .xsession-errors file: kdecore (KAccel): WARNING: Sym::initQt( ffff ): failed to convert key. Maybe this is a KDE problem? On Montag, 22.
