Yep! They are gonne...

OpenSUSE 10.3 x86_64 KDE 3.5.7 release 72.6

Installed fresh 2 weeks ago.

No matter what i tried, i can not enter any french accents with my
keyboard (QWERTY) in konqueror (or any kde apps, including konsole). OOo,
firefox, thunderbird, etc. accepts accents normally. This only occur when
i'm logged in as user or using kdesu. If i log in as root, i have my
accents in every kde apps.

I logged in as root, deleted ~/.kde, relogged as user same thing.

For example, in 10.1, i used to be able to type 'e and have é (this one
entered with KCharSelect...)

Now when i type 'e all i get is something like this [][] when i want to
create a new folder in konqueror for example. In KWrite, default encoding
is utf8 if i enter 'e i get [][]. Save the file, change the encoding to
iso8859-15, save the file, the é is there. Save the file, change back to
utf8 and the accented letter transforms to a question mark (black bg /
white fg).

In KDE CC i have:

Keyboard layout is set to setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant intl
Under XKb options i have setxkbmap -option altwin:meta_alt

In SaX2 in have:

Type:Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro USB / Microsoft Int Layout: U.S.
English
Variant: intl

In /etc/sysconfig:

KEYTABLE: us.map.gz
COMPOSETABLE: clear winkeys shiftctrl latin1.add

in a terminal, locale gives:

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"

I have looked at a bunch of other files but could not find anything to help me.

I've search google, forums, newsgroups, nothing came out.

Can you help me please.

Thanks.

Damien.

I'm not an expert, but you have set the keyboard layout to US.
I assume that you need in YAST (hardware -> keyboard) the layout: fr and variant: deadkeys. You can test
the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

Ciao

U.S. layout is correct has i have a QWERTY keyboard and not an AZERTY one.
With a France (fr) layout my keyboard becomes AZERTY and there is no
deadkeys variant (i have nodeadkeys). I did try every variant without any
luck.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Damien.
