This means any time you type the special accent or quote characters, you'll need to hit them twice to get the actual quote character. Still, it allows you to do weird things like the umlauts, accents, and backticks, etc. I'm not sure exactly WHICH map it is. You can select this keyboard while using XF86Setup or xf86config. There's probably some other ways to set it. Otherwise, use the character picker method. -- Chad "^chewie, gunnarr" Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
