doobit is correct in that not all applications will support alternate keymaps.
DSL being an eclectic group of apps choosen for their size and not necessarliy for being certified multi language capable.

The lastest release candidate 2.3RC1 now displays a popup to remind the user that X needs to be restarted in order to see any effect while running X.

Thankyou, doobit and roberts. I have meanwhile downloaded dsl2.3RC1. Please excuse my beginner-s ignorance, but how do I restart X without rebooting_

I've posted a topic with my problem, and i didn't see anything like it in the forum.

http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....eyboard

My problem is: I speak brazilian portuguese and got the right keymaps, all keys are in their right place and everything. BUT i can't really write the special letters. Here is what happens:

when i write á, the normal way to do it is to press the ´ key, and then the a key. When we press ´, nothing should happen, and i should then press a, or o, or e, depending on the letter i want to write with the accent. But the programs show ´ in the screen, so instead of writing á all i can get is ´a, ´e, ´o, ~a, and so on...

can't imagine why this is happening. Can someone help me?

Thanks.
