I have been using my US keyboard with acents without problems in Mandrake 7.0, but now with 7.1 those accented characters don't appear. I checked out and found "Input Devices/International Keybord" on kcontrol, by default the instalation put en.kimap as the default character table. Well, I put weu.kimap as the default one and then KDE complaints that it can't find the apostrophe simbol if I use the default X codes, so then I selected codes for PC101 keybord but the keyboard still doesn't produce the accented characters I want. What is going on here? How can I configure my US-layout keyboard for accented characters on KDE? PD: On Gnome and the text console the keyboard works allrigth. ----------------------------- Ing.
