I've recently updated to XFree86 v4.2 (XFree86-4.2.0-10mdk). Since then I have no longer to use my Multi_Key to Compose characters.
I have traced the problem so far that it stems from the fact that X chooses the empty compose map in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/C. Instead, I would like to use for instance the compose map in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1. As I understand the X(7x) man page the compose map is chosen based on LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG (in that order). Since the /etc/X11/Xsession script (called by startx through xinit) calls /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, I have tried changing my settings in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to the following SYSFONT=lat1-10 LC_ALL=iso8859-1 LC_CTYPE=iso8859-1 LC_MONETARY=en_US LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_TIME=en_US LC_NUMERIC=en_US LC_COLLATE=en_US LC_MESSAGES=en_US LANG=iso8859-1 SYSFONTACM=iso15 Still, I end up with the C compose map. Of course, I could fix this by copying the compose map. However, I prefer a solution through configuration. Does anybody know what I have to do? /Peter -- http://www.linearity.org/turtle/contact.html ``When you have had all the experiences, met all the famous people, made some money, toured the world and got all the acclaim you still think--is that it?
