Okay, first It took me several hours to figure this out... Assuming you have a german keyboard, you may have noticed that the @ key will not work in firefox, even just after you have booted into the default DSL Setup, without XFree86... This IS NOT a problem of the firefox browser, although some guys in this forum thought.
Open a terminal and type the following two lines:
| Code Sample |
xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "add mod5 = Mode_switch" |
Now you will notice that the @ Key works in Firefox... thanks for this tip to the forum member jls legalize
Ok, now for the more difficult part (just kidding, it is easy for you, was difficult for me). When you install XFree86 via MyDSL and configure it so that it works, you will notice that the Alt Gr Key is not working anymore... Assuming You have a German Windows Keyboard create a file in your home directory called .xmodmap-box
Copy & Paste this into the file (use a editor of your choice):

I made this above with the wonderfull programm xkeycaps, which I installed via apt-get... But thats not the topic... Save the file x and then open a terminal again and type:
| Code Sample | | xmodmap .xmodmap-box |
Now everything should work fine... Or did I have overseen something... I am not a Linux Freak or so, but the above solution did it for me...

.
DSL Market ,
Great VPS hosting provided by Tektonic
and very complicated is it in the Emailprogramm Sylpheed. I can see the german Umlaute if I read new mails, I can type it in the Adress and Subject and I see them 
. But if i write the text I can not see the german unlaute but if I send the text the german Umlaute was correctly in the Email. (DSL 2.0)
