Hi
I recently installed Xfree86-4 from the contrib rpms on rpmfind.net, I'm
otherwise using a stock 7 mandrake installation, and everything
functions, except for this one annyoing problem.  I've tried contacting
the xfree86 guys, but I've not had a reply yet (wishful thinking
probably!) and I've also tried comp.os.linux.x, and not heard anything
there!
Has anyone managed to get a compose key to work under XFree86-4 using
xkb.
I used to have it working fine, but it would seem that my old config
appended to a new XF86Config file no
longer works...
The lines I used to use were:
Altgr   Compose

XkbKeycodes  "xfree86"
XkbTypes       "default"
Xkbcompat     "default"
XkbSymbols    "us(pc102compose)"

and that used to work fine to give me a right alt key that would allow
composition of characters such as ` + e to give me the accent.
I'd be grateful for any ideas as to how to solve this under Xfree86-4,
as the language support in Mandrake is good, but the most important
thing for me is having access to french accents off the keyboard.

Thanks
