A while ago I aksed the following question, but got no answer. This is 
becoming very important:

 I need to use umlauted (for German) and accented (for French) characters. I 
have no desire to learn a radically new keyboard layout; Qwerty and Israeli 
is enough for me.

I found a keyboard layout's images here:
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/keyboards/latin.html
The images show what happens when pressing Alt, Alt-Gr, CTRL, shift or no 
helper key. (One problem is that I have no idea how to make my keyboard have 
that Alt-Gr.) I played around with KDE's keyboard selector, but could not 
find what layout the web page's corresponds to. So...

* Does anybody know of another keyboard layout that covers pretty much the 
same breadth of accented characters as the one on the web page above (I need 
umlauts and accents at the very least. All additional characters, such as 
copyright, trademark, ... are a boon), or
* does anybody recognize which keyboard layout the web page displays and what 
setting I should use to replicate that under X? in the console?

Finally, I was wondering about the model. I have my "keyboard model" set to 
generic 104 pc. However, my extra keyboard (primary keyboard is the laptop's 
builtin one, but I often use an external keyboard) has 107 keys, the 104 
layout plus power, sleep and wake up keys, yet there is no 107 key layout. 
How do I make X recognize those keys exist (I will worry about mapping 
something to them later)?
And I also notice that KDE insists that the left win key is a modifier. How do 
I change that key into a non modifier key?


Thanks,

Arie Folger
