Hi David,
I had a similar problem when I was switching to gnome 2.6. Before I had set up the keyboard to produce German Umlauts via xmodmap, but for some reason my /etc/X11/xmodmap has not been read any longer.
So I adapted the xkb configuration do do the stuff:
In /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc I created a file called custom_us with the following contents:
partial default alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "basic" {
// basierend auf US Keyboard mit 104 Tasten (Euro-Layout) include "us(pc104euro)" name[Group1]= "US/ASCII"; name[Group2]= "International customized";
// Umlaute override key <AD07> { [ u, U ], [ udiaeresis, Udiaeresis ] }; override key <AD09> { [ o, O ], [ odiaeresis, Odiaeresis ] }; override key <AC01> { [ a, A ], [ adiaeresis, Adiaeresis ] }; override key <AC02> { [ s, S ], [ ssharp, section ] };
// Waehrung override key <AE05> { [ 5, percent ], [ EuroSign, cent ] }; override key <AD03> { [ e, E ], [ EuroSign, cent] };
// Sonderzeichen override key <AD04> { [ r, R ], [ registered ] }; override key <AB03> { [ c, C ], [ copyright ] }; override key <AD05> { [ t, T ], [ trademark ] }; override key <AB07> { [ m, M ], [ mu ] };
// Akzente override key <AE06> { [ 6, asciicircum ], [] }; override key <AC11> { [ apostrophe, quotedbl ], [] }; override key <TLDE> { [ grave, asciitilde ], [] }; override key <AE10> { [ 0, parenright ], [ degree ] }; override key <AB08> { [ comma, less ], [] }; override key <AB09> { [ period, greater ], [] }; override key <AB10> { [ slash, question ], [] };
};
and in XF86Config-4 i simply selected custum_us instead of us
Works great here.
Just in case xmodmap shows similar problems as on my machine.
