Hallo Koos, Your advice is excellent and with some modifications my keyboard runs well :
a. I applied your "patch" bij changing the section in /etc/XF86Config Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" LeftAlt Meta RightAlt ModeShift XkbDisable EndSection note the "" you indicated first shall not be used as you advised after me reporting problems. Now the behaviour of the keyboard is the same in "pure linux" and in X11 b. But in my distribution (SuSe 6.3) the keyboard file nl.map.gz was not complete and several functions of alt-gr did not work. You suggested to look for the nl2 version. I found on the internet kbd-106.tar.gz and that contained nl, nl2 and nl3. After installation nl2 appeared not to be correct as it refers to the synbol "euro" which my system does not recognize ( british influence?) but nl3 works well and all essential keys on my keyboard function . Thanks a lot for your help and maybe others having problems might now solve those regards Arie Dogterom ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Aan: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Verzonden: donderdag 6 december 2001 21:00 Onderwerp: I18n digest, Vol 1 #456 - 1 msg > Send I18n mailing list submissions to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of I18n digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
