hi at all italian and non italian people,the problem of italian keyboard is fixed forever,the solutions is: in the fluxbox menu select tools>enable apt
download and install apt-get

configure your keyboard and configure the @ key by press another combination of button,such as shift-ò or shift-à and the problem in fix forever: firefox display and recognize correctly the @ without system reboot or xserver shutdown.
goodbye and good job at all.

is not needed enable apt.
open mydsl>system and download xkeycaps (obly 300 kb)
to make permanent the fix,open the file xinitrc with beaver and add:
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-box

I found xkeycaps really weird. Made a mess out of my keyboard (which is Swedish, with åäöÅÄÖ). Anyway, I added this mod to my .xinitrc file: | Code Sample |
| # My se-latin1 keyboard with mods as follows xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-my-own & |
where .xmodmap-my-own looks like this:
| Code Sample |
| clear Mod4 add Mod5 = Mode_switch keysym a = a A aacute Aacute keysym e = e E eacute Eacute keysym i = i I iacute Iacute keysym o = o O oacute Oacute keysym u = u U uacute Uacute keysym y = y Y yacute Yacute keysym n = n N ntilde Ntilde keysym 1 = 1 exclam exclamdown keysym section = section degree questiondown keysym aring = aring Aring udiaeresis Udiaeresis keysym s = s S ssharp |
So I get the special letters by holding down AltGr and pressing a key, e.g., AltGr n produces ñ etc.
The first two lines are wellknown to all that have tried to get @ in Firefox
The next 9 lines are good for my Spanish documents (áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ¿¡) (ýÝ maybe not needed ...
)And the last two for German (ü Ü ß)
There are a lot more for those who want other characters. You can find them in xkeycaps under the "Edit KeySyms of Key" right-click menu. For instance, if you need Icelandic there are thorn THORN eth ETH etc, Danish and Norwegian have ae and oslash, Portuguese has ccedilla, atilde etc, and I'd really hate to be French in a situation like this (no offense!) Where could you find room on the keyboard for all the aacute, agrave, acircumflex etc... ?

Well, you could put the é on another key, like w or whatever so instead of
| Code Sample |
| keysym e = e E eacute Eacute |
you would have
| Code Sample |
| keysym w = w W eacute Eacute |
Cent is still on AltGr+c so if you need ccedilla you would have to do something similar....
The best thing would be to have the dead keys working of course...

¤ ---> Tiene cuatro patas, no puede ser un insecto. Insectos tienen seis patas, según mi conocimiento... Ni modo
It's the currency symbol, or popularly the "sun".
Anyway, the symbol € is called "EuroSign" in the keysym language. Unfortunately this code produces nothing in DSL 2.4, which I'm still on. I think it's necessary to use not latin1 but something like latin9 or latin15 for it to work. Not sure, though.

the euro sign is in Open office, insert especials characters (writte) is not necesary to change keysym e
