You provide too few information... what is the dead key that works, and those that don't? What letters did you tried to type ? However, it is probably not a keyboard problem, but a composing problem. The keyboard sending the dead keys is not enough, XFree must also know what a given combiantion produces. That is defined in Compose files, that are used in a locale-dependent way. Default english locale uses iso-8859-1 encoding, that is, the Compose file used is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose which define only a few compose sequences for acute, grave, circumflex, diaereis and tilde; there is no dead_caron or dead_ogonek etc in iso-8859-1. Also, even if there is dead_acute, only combinations with vowels are defined, there is no definition allowing to type cacute for example. So, for using the Czech character set, you should set your locale to either an iso-8859-2 one, or to utf-8. For example set to English UTF-8 trough localedrake, or editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n replace "en_US" with "en_US.UTF-8" -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.stben.be/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese]
