US International keyboard problem

[Hans W.]

Hello,

I use a standard keyboard with support for international languages (dutch). But in KDE I can use the " in combination with e = ë, but then not the " by itself .

It refuses to work when I tap twice or use the " <space> combination.

All other signs like ` ~ ' ^ work fine in combination or by them selves.

In the bash this works correct.
.
To write this I am switching between languages.

I have tried Mandrake 8.0 thru 8.2 and 9.0 beta 4 all with the same problem.

Anyone that can help ?

Try using xmodmap and find out what codes are sent by the " key under normal circumstances (like not using KDE or other language support). You can use xev to find out.
Then try to map the " key to whatever code is being sent in KDE.

Ramki.
