Because de-latin1-nodeadkeys is not found undr /usr/share/keymaps (it is under /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwert), there is no key(re)mapping at all and everything remains by default...and this is a qwerty keyboard. Setting it to KEYMAP=qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys give /most/ (but unfortunately not every) keymapping I want: No '@'for example but nodeadkeys. When doing a setxkbd de give me all keymappings -- but no nodeadkeys (the dead keys are 'dead' and not 'nodead'). So, currently I can choose between two not completly good settings... Best regards, mcc

[gentoo-user] Some keyboard confusions
Hi, I am a little confused about the keyboard mapping, and what I made wrong to screw it up... What I want is a keyboard with german layout and no dead keys, which was working under 32bit Linux. What I did additionally under the 32bit Gentoo was to dump all keysetting with xkeycaps into a ~/.xmodmap-file, remove the entry for CAPS LOCK and reload it with ~/config/openbox/autostart.sh. Works perfectly. After setting up the 64bit system, something subtle changes. With (as I think...) identical setting I got a mainly working keyboard layout with even the germen umlauts working BUT some (but important) keys NOT working: @ does not work Alt Gr was mapped to Page up . . and so on. Some very interesting variations I tried to redump .xmodmap with xkeycaps but that did not work. Finally setxkbmap de brings back @ to normal as ALt Gr. But: No no dead keys ... all keyes were alive, so to say... ;) I do not only want to fix this, I want to understand, whether I need setxkbmap and whether/how it is possible to get back the former more simpler (and working) way of a keyboard layout. Ah! By the way: There were no changes to xorg.conf between the two systems. /etc/conf.d/keymaps has the entry KEYMAP=qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys as with the 32bit system. How can I fix this ? Thank you very much for any help in advance! Best regard, mcc
