You can put xmodmap commands into your .xinitrc file or create a file .Xmodmap in your home directory and then make sure it is read at startup of XDarwin. I have to do this also for my French keyboard here.
In my .Xmodmap file, I have for example the lines keycode 66 = Mode_switch clear Mod1 clear Mod2 clear Mod3 add Mod1 = Meta_L add Mod2 = Alt_L keycode 27 = eacute 2 ediaeresis keycode 30 = section 6 paragraph aring keycode 34 = egrave 7 guillemotleft guillemotright and maybe a dozen others of the same type that define key actions (in the order key, shift-key, alt-key, alt-shift-key). Then in my .xinitrc I have the line xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap This works reasonably well. You can probably find complete .Xmodmap files for your keyboard on the net, but it is not too hard to construct it yourself, using xev to find the key numbers and the files in /usr/X11R6/etc/xkb/symbols/ for the names of the symbols. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: DEDICATED SERVERS only $89!
