Sure?, perhaps you are in consele text mode, there, with the es keymap al seems to work, but in X, all is wrong:
1. The @ can not be obtained in firefox
2. Some alternate characters never works.
3. The most impoortant thing: WE HAVE NO DEAD KEYS, without it the system si simply unusable for a Spanish.
But I see more extrange things: in a statically compiled version of wine and winelib I am using to port some software, when I try to acces database objects created in windows, that work in other Linux distributions and are using in their names the characters ª or º, simply they are not regongnized at all giving an hard (very hard) to fix error, so it seems the trouble is more internal, but always about X, no about console aplications.
I Still find usefull (very usefull, it's the true) the Damm small distro, but for any final Spanish user (I use it for mounting servers, robots, and other things that do not take use of X) the keyboard issues are making the distro unusable. It' simply can't use our language. Perhaps the solution would be a full locales support (incrementiong the size ,I know but could be optional in a myDSL extension). I have benn trying to build locales, and a X server, but it's hard to do because of lacks (I know for size restrictions) of a lot of things needed for this . For the moment, I have not found any solution. Any one?
The final conclusion is that if DSL X could work as the real console , it would be fine. The questions is why it can't? |
