This came out of my original question about having problems with typing
accented characters into OpenOffice documents under KDE 3.4.3.
The problem is that I need to press AltGr and the quote character to
obtain a quote. This makes it impossible to enter accented characters
into an OOo document.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "logicdp"
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
EndSection
Using this xorg.conf set-up, I can enter the accented characters into
all other applications apart from OOo under KDE.
OOo works fine under IceWM, so I'd guess that it's a KDE issue.
Cheers, Dave
