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
sudo su
apt-get install xkeycaps
type xkeycaps
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.

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... ?
