Hello. In an attempt to have my US keyboard working with dead keys (the so called "US International" keymap) I have installed the attached keymap file /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.iso.acc.kbd which, provides support for dead keys, and added a line with keymap="us.iso.acc.kbd" in /etc/rc.conf. I have also configured the console font to be iso8859-1 (font8x8="iso-8x8", font8x14="iso-8x14", font8x16="iso-8x16"). But after rebooting my FreeBSD 4-4 system, I did not get the expected behaviour. The system accepts the dead keys, but cannot combine them with the vowels typed immediately after a dead key to build an accented character. For instance, typing 'a I get a beep and no á character, as it is expected. But if I type ' followed by an space, I get the single quote ' character. Strangely, I am getting the same behaviour in a xterm window with XFree86-4.1.0, which is setup to use the "us_intl" keyboard layout and the pc105 keyboard geometry. Any clues?
