I'm having some problems with xfree86. I can't put my portuguese keyboard working as it should. The layout is ok but the dead keys don't work. I went to the symbols directory and altered the pt file so that the dead keys work (substitued asciitilde, asciicircum, etc... for dead_tilde, dead_circumflex, etc), and my XF86Config goes like this:
XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "pc101" XkbLayout "pt" XkbVariant "" XkbOptions "" After I exit x there is a message saying: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: No Symbols named "" in the include file "pt" > Exiting > Abandoning Symbols file "default" Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap waiting for X server to shut down I tried replacing "pt" in XkbLayout for "dk" or "es" and they have the same error. I also replaced it for "us" and there is no error. I also tried to change the config like this XkbKeycodes "xfree86" XkbTypes "default" XkbCompat "default" XkbSymbols "en_US(pc105)+pt" XkbGeometry "pc(pc105)" or "pc(pc101)" or "pc(pc102)" and I get no error, but the keyboard doesn't work with dead keys. Can anybody help with this? Problem 2: xfstt doesn't work. I changed the init.d so he has a different dir: TTFDIR=/win/windows/fonts (yes, unfortunately I still use windows) and added '--dir $TTFDIR' to the start-stop-daemon line (after the '--' and before everything else). I still can't get no ttf fonts. <sigh> This is annoying me senseless. Any suggestions? Thanks, David
