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
