X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 20:07:52 -0000 I have an odd problem. I can't get any 8-bit characters to show up after an upgrade. On the console nothing happens after I run kbdmap and choose Swedish ISO-8859-1. It just beeps, and prints the non-Swedish characters like before. In KDE, after having added my own xmodmap to the .xinitrc file, I though that they might appear. No such luck. Even after setting the keyboard layout on Control Panel/Regional/Keyboard Layout to Swedish do they not appear. Oddly enough, in emacs everything looks like it should! What am I missing, and what didn't I do after the upgrade? /Andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
