[comp.unix.i386] X-window keyboard layout

hoepfner@usun01.UUCP (Andreas Hoepfner) (08/28/90)

X-windows is working fine....but...

has anyone changed the keyboard layout to a german (mf2) one ?
In shell enviroment no problem !

It is horrible to work with X and the wrong layout, so *PLEASE*
tell me how to manage it...
