--------------------------------------------------------------- FROM: Goran Svensson Telesoft Box 4148 Malmo SWEDEN ph 46-40-254876 (office) fax 46-40-254880 net address: gosv@logm.se ---------------------------------------------------------------- I have problems concerning national letters and X-environment. I use ISO-8859 font and it displays as it should on output from programs (also executed from within xterm). Problem 1: Running xterm, 8 bit characters generated from keyboard gets displayed as square and bell. Simular problem with an application using Athena Text widget. Problem 2: Remapping the keyboard with xmodmap I would like to use two modifier keys ex. Compose Shift key, and should then need four keysym per key. I need this to use national keyboard Europe. But I can only get two keysym assigned to a key, ie. unshifted and shifted. System I am using: SUN Sparc 1+ SUN OS 4.1.1 X11 Release 4 Please send any answers direct to my address 'gosv@logm.se' since I have no direct access to your database. Goran Svensson

That's what the Mode_switch keysym is for. Put the Mode_switch keysym on some key, then tie that key to an unused modifier bit. Then, when that key is down, the third and fourth columns will be used instead of the second and third columns for a given key. (Yes, this should be more extensible....) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
