I donno about KDE 3.3 on SUSE 9.2 - but on KDE 3.43 and SUSE 10.0 I have KDE Control Center > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard where I can check this:

Is the keyboard variant of the US English keyboard set to "international" ["intl"]? If yes, change it to "basic". Or just use this command at the Alt + F2 (Run Command) dialog:

setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant basic

and see if it works.

Dear Shriramana: Thank you for the quick reply. I've checked the setting you mentioned and the layout is set to 'international' (intl) variant for U.S. English (us) keyboard layout. However there is no other option to choose, there is no 'basic option', only international in the pulldown menu. I used the command line version (setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant basic) in the console window and it seems that works but only until I click again on the language flag. Also there is another user set up on the same machine with the same keyboard layout settings and that user is not affected by this strange behavior. I would like to trace what can be the problem but don't know where to start. If you have any other idea, it would be appreciated.

Is this the commandline specified in the keyboard layout setup page? If not, make that change and you should be rid of the deadkeys.

Back in SUSE 9.3 I had two *different* keyboard layouts called US and US International. Apparently someone got the idea that it would be in some way helpful to throw all different layouts for a single locale together. The problem it has created has been reported by me at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=120395 - if I need to use two Indian languages I cannot. Anyway, back to the topic - back in SUSE 9.3 I remember we had US, US Intl, US w/ deadkeys, etc. Istvan (or is Gabor his/her first name?) should check whether s/he has these different options.

system is set to Canada/US English, and my keyboard commandline is "setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant intl" but I have no deadkeys.

An international 104-key keyboard without deadkeys? How's that possible Darryl? Shriramana Sharma.
