Good morning,

In my Xmodmap I found

94 0x003c (less) 0x003e (greater) 0x005c (backslash)

I think there is a problem of translation of the code 0x005C to the '\' And also the SuSE configuration surely held my modification in memory but don't write it.

Maybe should you execute SuSEconfig to fix tour modifications ? When i installed 8.2, i had see that new users can't use less/greater/backslash key. Old users created with 8.0 worked fine thus i copy .Xmodmap of an old user in each home directory of new user. After this operation keyboard works fine... @+ Franz

I had a similar problem moving from 8.0 to 8.2 with 'ñ'. I am Breton and we do use 'ñ' in Breton Language when French keyboard do not have it. SuSE 8.2 now use xkb in place of xmodmap. Ci-apres mon petit fichier pour la modif en question, la meme technique devrait fonctionner pour la Belgique.

Good morning,

SuSEconfig doesn't solve the problem.

Unfortunately I don't have such Xmodmap created with 8.0.

Good morning, I have found the solution to my problem ! I my case the assignment of the <>\ key is in the file /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc ==> // defintion which includes both the Windows95 keyboards _and_ // the extra key on most European keyboards. xkb_symbols "pc105" { include "pc/pc(pc104)" key <LSGT> { type[Group1] = "FOUR_LEVEL", [ less, greater, bar, brokenbar ] }; }; To resolve my problem I have changed the 'bar' in 'backslash' and restarted the X11 server. Is there some documentation on how X11 maps keyboards.... ? Thanks a lot to those who replies. Pierre Op zondag 31 augustus 2003 17:56, schreef Kevin Pfeiffer:

But my .Xmodmap is still being read after upgrading from 8.1 to 8.2...
