I installed Redhat 3.0.3 a week ago... and managed to get swedish characters in bash great (fi-latin1.map)! Now i've been trying to get thoose nice characters in Xfree and got some help from a text on the subject for slackware. My problem is that almost all my special characters wont work in Xfree (/@�$| etc) Now since i've only been running linux for a week i really don't know how to start fixing this... I've tried to use XKeyCaps >.Xmodmap and selected the keyboard that looks like the one i have. PC 102 key keyboard #1 (Linux/XFree86 Swedish/Finnish layout) keyboard and it shows the correct keys at once ... great! but after writing to the file .Xmodmap (selecting ALL keys not just changes) the first lines in the file produced says this is an input file for xmodmap and so on and below it lines up all changes... and it's about 5 changes that changes something with F8 - F18 and stuff not anything with my special characters... but all keys are saved... so obiously after a "xmodmap .Xmodmap" it just changes the keys it stated it would change.... I think this has something to do with scancodes that my keyboard sends that doesn't match the ones in my generated .Xmodmap so how do I fix this scancode stuff? Eh oh well any help appresiated...
