Compose-ing doesn't work in a UTF-8 console (oh how I hoped 2.6 would solve the console problems) but you can have an alternating keymap in UTF-8, like my macedonian ASCII/Cyrillic keymap. Just press altgr to switch to cyrillic, press win-menu to lock to cyrillic. check the mk-utf.map file that comes with kbd. -- Damjan Georgievski jabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
