Jean-Yves:
I am not running X on my Debian machine, and my X manual is at home, so I
am lacking resources, but I'll try to offer some tips...
Look in the directory /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols. Is there a file called
fr-latin0
in this directory? If so, is there a section in this file that looks like:
xkb_symbols pc102 { ... }
My machine does not have these files. I have a symbol file called fr with
a section called basic, so I would expect to put a line like this in my
XF86Config:
XkbSymbols fr(basic)
Let me know what you find in your own ./symbols/ directory.
BTW, don't attach too much significance to that Unix Specialist title in my
signature. I provide Unix support in a fairly small, non-technical office,
where
everybody is a specialist of some sort. My experience with Linux/Unix is
mostly as a hobbyist, so I still learn new things every day. I learn a lot from
reading this mailing list. I guess what I'm saying is that there are many
people
on this list who are imminently more qualified to help you with this than I am.
However, I enjoy the challenge of problem-solving and am happy to help
however I can.

Hi Marc,
I read a part of the documentation (the main doc's PB in Linux is the xti-doc
for one subject!).
I tryied some other key: in fact that's all the Alt-Gr-keys that were zapped
under X!, So instead of disabling XKDB in
its section in XF86Config, I re-enabled it this way: (don't remember wich doc
says that, I've read too much of'em ;-) )
XkbKeycodes xfree86
XkbRulesxfree86
XkbTypesdefault
XkbCompat default
XkbSymbols fr-latin0(pc102)
XkbGeometry pc(pc102)
XkbModelpc102
And loadind fr-latin0.map with loadkeys at the boot.
I found it very usefull, under command line, especially the tty changing with
windows keys, and flip-flop between the
last 2 ttys with page key.
BUT, the answer of the X server (I'm under fram buffer) is: (at the end of X)
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
Error:Can't find file fr-latin0 for symbols include
Exiting
Abandoning symbols file default
Error from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
waiting for X server to shut down
#
Its quite obvious: the file's not found, I tryied to put it on ~/root/.Xmodmap,
and 2 other locations, from the doc, but
I still got the same error.
I love this OS, because I think the possibilities are almost infinites, instead
of windows; but it's very hard to get
started!
Regards,
JY
