 |
|
Hi all,
After upgrading my Gentoo to the latest version available, I cannot put tildes over vowels. When I type a tilde and a vowel I get ´o instead of what should be (I cannot type it!).
Any hint on this? I've been fooling arround with "locales", there's some info over the net, but nothing precise I could find.
Help is appreciated.

This seems to be an issue with the keymap definitions. Is this a problem in the console, in X or in both?

Hm, strange. Have you done the etc-update after the update?
However, to set a keyboard layout in the console, use the loadkeys command with your desired layout (check /usr/share/keymaps for possible layouts).
For X, you can set the layout with setxkbmap. Watch out, it uses a completely different syntax and other resources than loadkeys. When you are on Gnome/KDE, there are GUI apps to set the keyboard layouts, too.

Me again. Let's see, after updating it seems to have changed everything from ISO-8859 to UTF-8. I have modified /etc/conf.d/keymaps accordingly (to read KEYMAP="-u es")
Anyway my problem is still there. When I press the tilde key, I inmediately get a ´, instead of having to press a vowel to get the ´a (again).
I'm really desperated. |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Desktop Environments.
Gnome is desktop stuff, so moved here.

That sounds like you have the nodeadkeys on. Choose a layout/variant without it, and it should work.
