Hi Jorge,
my keyboard has dead keys and they work flawlessly in Fedora. I remember the
problems you describe in LyX but those were more than 15 years ago.
What is the desktop environment that you are using? I am one of the
maintainers of LyX in Fedora and I am interested in understanding your problem
so that it can be fixed.
Regards,
