I've tested lyx -dbg4 from a machine before upgrading. I've wrote an "á" (i.e., an accent and and "a"). The following output was produced. Everything was ok:
[snip] Press key 193 text "á", ascii "225" Setting key to 193, á KeySym is Aacute isOK is 1 isMod is 0 encoding is iso8859-1 Using codec ISO 8859-1 ISOEncoded returning value 225 action first set to [88] action now set to [88] Key [action=88][Aacute] Cannot decode: á SelfInsert arg[`']
I upgraded the machine to KDE 3.3. I've tested again with lyx -dbg4. I've wrote again an "á" (i.e., an accent and and "a"), but the following output was produced:
[snip] Press key 65535 text "Ž", ascii "180" Setting key to 65535, Ž KeySym is Ž isOK is 1 isMod is 0 encoding is iso8859-1 Using codec ISO 8859-1 ISOEncoded returning value 180 action first set to [-1] action now set to [-1] Key [action=-1][Ž] isText for key 65535 isPrint is 1 isText() is true, inserting.

After upgrading, the result after doing same keystrokes was "'a", instead of "á".
Any solution for this?

I had this problem (and I was the one that posted it 3 weeks ago -- see this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg34837.html). It was with Mandrake 10.0 Official and KDE's own Mandrake RPM. Some apps had the problem, other not. For example, no dead keys accent with LyX, Scribus and Kwriter but no problem with OpenOffice.org, Kspread or Kate.
I went back to KDE 3.2 on Mandrake.
But I tried the move to KDE 3.3 on Slackware 10 (tgz packages) and everything went fine, the dead keys are doing their job on my ca_enhanced keyboard (French Canadian).
So? Problems with Mandrake and Suse?
