A Problem with the ca_enhanced keyboard within XFree86
Hello, I am using SuSe Professionnal 9.0, XFree86 and KDE. I used yast to configure my keyboard as French Canadian (ca_enhanced), and I'm getting problems with the ALT-CAR key, which is the RIGHT ALT (also called Alt Meta, or Meta Alt, I think). Normally (on any other linux distro), I can type @'s and \'s with ALTCAR-2, and ALTCAR-#, respectively. The problem is that with SuSe 9.0, I can only use the ALT CAR key into the console mode (ALT-F1 through ALT-F6). In XFree86, when I type ALTCAR-#, I get # instead of \, and for ALTCAR-2, I get 2 instead of @. So in XFree86, the ALTCAR key seems to be ignored for some unknown reason. In the ca_enhanced keymap file, everything is there, @ and \ are listed in their places with ALT META, and as I already said I only get this bug with SuSe 9.0, so I'm sure it's not the keymap file. Any advice anyone? I'd like to get rid of that problem, because I'd like to be able to type @'s with cutting and pasting an @ I write in a text file from console (!), and because this is the ONLY bug I get with SuSe (would be great to get that working out) Regards, Paul Dubé
