pinhead1212, have you tried:crtl+alt+backspace (to kill X and all X applications)
loadkeys de (or fr, es, or whatever you country code is)
startx (to restart X)

pinhead1212, check out this long thread on < changing the default keyboard layout >.There looks to be more than one way to do it. Try typing
knoppix lang=de
at the boot: prompt. Or try remastering the CD like ypx did. or use the mkmydsl script (look < here >)

Hi!I've got a rather similar problem:
All my german-specific keys work perfectly well (esp. in textmode-console) but under x i cant use my meta keys (for pipes and @ & stuff) and my arrowkeys correctly.
Can anyone give me a hint? :
