Actually, for the umlauts I use this with xmodmap: keycode 30 = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis keycode 32 = o O odiaeresis Odiaeresis keycode 38 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis so I get them by pressing Mode_switch and the vowel. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
