Help, cannot type accented characters and euro sign

[oscie]

Hi,

For some strange reason I cannot type accented/special (like pressing first ' and then e, doesn't work =( ) characters nor the euro sign (e.g. R ALT + 5) .

The output of locale is this:
LANG=nl_NL@euro
LC_CTYPE="nl_NL@euro"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL@euro"
LC_TIME="nl_NL@euro"
LC_COLLATE="nl_NL@euro"
LC_MONETARY="nl_NL@euro"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL@euro"
LC_PAPER="nl_NL@euro"
LC_NAME="nl_NL@euro"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_NL@euro"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_NL@euro"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_NL@euro"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_NL@euro"
LC_ALL=nl_NL@euro

I have configured the following in /etc/env.d/02locale:
LC_ALL="nl_NL@euro"
LANGUAGE=${LC_ALL}
LANG=${LC_ALL}
MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-15
And I ran env-update

In /etc/rc.conf i configured the following:
KEYMAP="us-acentos"
EXTENDED_KEYMAP="windowkeys"
CONSOLEFONT="lat0-16"

And in /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
#Option "XkbSymbols" "compose:ralt"
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
EndSection

When I for example start Gaim it complains:
(process:5380): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib

(process:5380): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers

The second warning I just got recently and I have no idea why.

Does anybody have suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Oscar

You should take a look at /usr/share/locale and see if the locale you want to use is supported...

and take a look at the localization guide you can find here:

Do you get any xkb errors? What is the output of
