What is more, the directory /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d does not exist. And there is no file called xim in the /etc/X11 tree.
I've tried 'setxkbmap epo' which gives esperanto accented letters on q,w,x,y,z so that I can no longer use those letters. It was not long before I executed the command 'setxkbmap gb' to get things back to normal. Clearly, I need to set the compose key (to R-Win) so that I have the usual qwerty alphabet as well as the extra characters. So what do I do next? -- Sian Mountbatten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
