Well, all other X apps work fine, and so does Lyx if the document language is
set to english. Exporting LANG="el_GR" before loading lyx obviously does not
help...

Yes

This is the output of the debugger when I press "ó" ("sigma")

Oof. Can't encode the text !

While the output for pressing "s" (that is using the latin keymap) is:

Reading the iso-8859-7.cdef in /usr/share/lyx/kbd, the ASCII code 243 is
mapped to "s"... Should it be mapped to the actual "ó" instead (as well as
all other greek chars substituting the latin ones)?
> explain what you mean by "cannot type on Lyx" ?
When I shift my keyboard to greek, Lyx does not "capture" the keypresses... it
ignores whatever I type. If I shift back to a latin keymap, it works
perfectly (the dvi appears correctly with greek chars). While this can be
acceptable for a few symbols (e.g. typing "p" to get a "pi" on the output)
writing an entire document like that is definately a torture.
Hope this helps...
