User Feedback :: DSL 2.0 - Problem with german keyboard

hello,

dsl2.0 is great with jwm it runs much faster on my old machine, i have about 5% more ram free!

BUT: the german umlaute äöüß etc don't work at all...

i used "lang=de" and "no dead keys" in xsetup.sh

what is the problem? i thought there were improvements especially for german keyboards.

please help me!

Foreign keyboards are most difficult for John and I to support.
All we can go by is that which is submitted to us.
The only change in 2.0 is an if statement in the .xinitrc file.
# For German Keyboards
if [ $KEYTABLE == "de" ]; then
xmodmap -e "clear Mod4" -e "add Mod5 = Mode_switch" &
fi
This was submitted. If incorrect please advise.
Also this file is/will be in your backup, so it is easy change to persist.
This change has been in both RC with no feedback received.

i had the same line in my .xinitrc when i used dsl1.5

so there must be a difference...

I have'nt any problem with the german umlauts oder special characters like "ß"

But I boot DSL with the boot option "lang=de-latin1-nodeadkeys"

ich versuch's mal... : )
