Yes, at the time where the "testing" section works... Here is the output: What keytable to load? de-latin1-nodeadkeys You selected keymap /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz Sorry, I can't make you test this keymap now (showkey does not accept --keymap). NOTE: Answering anything else than 'y', 'n', or RETURN will reload the kernel's default keymap. Do you accept the chosen map for installation ? [y] Removing removing /etc/kbd/default.kmap.gz Generating include-less /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz Saving keymap to /tmp/fileBXdCb5 Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz Loading /tmp/fileBXdCb5 Compressing /etc/kbd/default.kmap: 79.2% -- replaced with /etc/kbd/default.kmap.gz Do you want changes to take effect right now ?

The same under the console. when is start emacs i can use "öäü" (i'm writing currently with emacs), but within the console--nothing. I think I need somethink like the emacs20: "set-buffer-process-coding-system" Thanks for everything Peter
