I haven't seen anything wrong with the standard "fr" keyboard for ages. It follows the standard layout, that is, it behaves the same as in other operating systems. It defines what is actually printed on the keys of real keyboards as available in French stores. > the francophones-howto aka the french-howto) The layouts listed there are often non-standard; they may be usefull, they may be preferred layouts by some people, but they are not standard. It may be interesting to add it to standard XFree86 distribution, but it should imho be labelled as "French keyboard", but instead something like "Alternate French keyboard" or "Extended French keyboard". There are differences. Also, all references to "latin9" should be removed; an X11 keyboard layout is independent of any charset encoding. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese]
