Hi there.

Well, after searching around and testing some solutions, i'm here to sadly say that non-english characters aren't working.

brazilian portuguese keymap exists (it's br-abnt2), but when i try to write á, for example, i just get ´a. When i try ã, ~a. ó, ´o, and so on. That happens because when i press the special char keys it prints it on the screen, instead of waiting me to press the next key in the keyboard to give the right character. for those who dont use these things, to write "á" i should press the "´" key, and then press "a". DSL don't wait me and prints "´" separatelly on the screen...

Also, beaver doesn´t show "ç" at all. Ted, terminal and firefox do. The other chars, like á or è, é, are impossible for me to write.

How come? Couldn't find anyone with this same problem in the forum!

Got it myself.

Just download ptbr.dsl package in MyDsl repository and load it, then startx again.
