Hi there.

Well, after searching around and testing some solutions, i'm here to sadly say that non-english characters doesn't work for me.

brazilian portuguese keymap exists (it's br-abnt2), but when i try to write á, for example, i just get ´a. When i try ă, ~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 press the ´ key, and then i press a. DSL don't let me do it!

Also, beaver doesn´t show "ç" at all. Ted, terminal and firefox do.

How come? Never seen a problem like this before, even in the forum...

Don't know whats wrong but found a solution.

Download ptbr.dsl package in MyDSL repository and load it, then startx again.
