Let me make a different suggestion, not a better one necessarily, but just a different one. Critiques are welcome, in case I have a typo or get something wrong. Debian Etch, fluxbox Put these settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu" EndSection Put this entry into /etc/environment LANG="en_US.iso885915" With this setting, on my system, the 'locale' command produces this output: LANG=en_US.iso885915 LC_CTYPE="en_US.iso885915" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.iso885915" LC_TIME="en_US.iso885915" LC_COLLATE="en_US.iso885915" LC_MONETARY="en_US.iso885915" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.iso885915" LC_PAPER="en_US.iso885915" LC_NAME="en_US.iso885915" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.iso885915" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.iso885915" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.iso885915" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.iso885915" LC_ALL= In this way I have a regular US keyboard with no dead keys, but using menu as the Multi_key, I can produce most of the accented characters, including the c cedilla. This works because the compose-key settings (Multi_key) are regulate in X by /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose And the "compose:menu" setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf designates the Multi_key, which is the compose key in X. -- Hugh Lawson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
