What could be wrong here?? Okey, first of all, if this is the same problem I had when I installed Debian, about a year ago, it's not the keymaps... My problem was that I could display åäö properly, but couldn't type them though. Only got beeps in the speaker... IF this is the case, try reading something like /usr/doc/kbd/*FAQ*... The fix is to add a ~/.inputrc with a couple of options, also making sure you escape 8bit characters to the shell by adding a line to your ~/.bashrc [EMAIL PROTECTED]<~>$ grep stty .bashrc stty cs8 -istrip -parenb [EMAIL PROTECTED]<~>$ cat .inputrc set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on [EMAIL PROTECTED]<~>$ Okey, this _should_ do the trick, all asuming that you have the same problem I had...
