no "accent grave / aigue" possible with German keyboard

SUSE Product Topics SLED Configure-Administer

SLED installation:

For direct application on a PC or a VNC connection, it is not possible for me enter an “accent aigue” á or a “grave accent” à.
When an RDP connection already.

Installation and Keyboard Layout: German

I’ve also tried from a SLED11 application by the xmodmap-pke modmap to export and then xmodmap modmap be recovered through the SLED.
Then I got no matching keyboard layout more.

Is there a workaround for the problem?

Which version of SLED are you using? Please post the output from
“cat /etc/*release” command.

HTH.

Hi Simon,
cat /etc/novell-releases:

VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 3

I’m not certain I understand the problem, but after setting the input language to German and finding a picture of a German keyboard I have been able to type the characters é á à ê û â î

I’ve put an image at
http://paste.opensuse.org/78440470
which shows which keys I used to type which characters. (Although I actually used the keys in the equivalent positions on a UK keyboard.) E.g. to type é I pressed the key circled in blue followed by the e key.

Does this help?

HI smflood

sorry it does not work

I have a German SLED installation.

When I log directly on SLED or an X-session connection using:
under keyboard settings I have “German Eliminate dead keys”
the standard input for à brings me `a
When I use “Germany Macintosh” as layout, we issued à correctly, but the rest of the layout is no longer correct.
This is my problem
I connect to the computer with RDP, do the keys work correctly

Under keyboard settings I have ‘Germany’.

See http://paste.opensuse.org/24722267

Line 1 is typed with ‘Germany’. Line 3 is typed with ‘Germany Eliminate dead keys’.

If I use ‘Germany’ I can type á but the same keystrokes with ‘Germany Eliminate dead keys’ produce 'a.

Can you try using ‘Germany’ rather than ‘Germany Eliminate dead keys’.
