Thank you very much!! I´m trying to configure my keyboard using xmodmap, but I think that that's tedious then I found the following information in some file (I don´t remmeber the name):
usermap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap I modified a key using vim in the file mentioned in the second line and It works great, I think I'm going to follow the procedure that I mentioned, because if I modify only my xmodmap file that changes only would apply to my profile and what I want is to apply the changes to all my system and for the new users. I'll keep you in touch if something wrong happens!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ionel Mugurel Ciobîcă" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 6:18 AM Subject: Re: [I18n]Latin Keyboard Layout error. > On 19-10-2001, at 08h 31'19", Alejandro Ríos García wrote: > > <html><head></head><body>When I'm taking about a Latin Keyboard layout is > > when I use a keyboard with ñ, Ñ and mainly I have the following characters > > in the key located over the tab key º, |, and other one that I couldn't type, > > When I have a Spanish Keyboard layout in the same key I have º ª and \, The > > problem is that I tought that when I tried to type something using KDE2 the > > characters shown when I pressed some key doesn't match with the key that > > I pressed.<br> > > Then I uninstall kde2, I checked again the configuration and I didn't work, > > Then I pressumed that the problem is located in Xfreee86.<br> > > But, I am not sure about that.<br> > > You don't need to install and uninstall something only because the > keyboard don't play according to your needs. > > > My question is:<br> > > The problem that I have is located in Xfree86 or in Kernel.<br> > > I was looking for some information and I found two Xmodmap files, one in > > my home directory, and another one in the system directory.
