FC2, keyboard and emacs.

[Esben Østergaard]

Hi all
 
I am having problems with my KeyTronic 105 key Danish layout keyboard 
and some applications, like emacs and OpenOffice. I noticed the problem 
in FC2test3, and now also in a fresh install of FC2.
 
In both openoffice and emacs, nothing happens when I try to type the 
special danish characters "æøå". But even worse is it, that when I press 
for example "alt-gr 4" to get the $ character in emacs, emacs locks up 
and I have to xkill it or press ctrl-c in the parent terminal. If I try 
to close it using the "x" in the top right corner, I do not get the 
"force quit" dialog box. If I change keyboard layout to german, I have 
similar problems, so i do not think the problem is tied to the Danish 
layout. In mozilla and in the terminals, everything works fine. It might 
be a related but that makes me unable to copy from emacs and paste to 
this mail window.
 
I assume this has something to do with incompatibility between xorgs 
keyboard drivers and some applications in fedora core 2. I have no idea 
how to fix it, and it is a really annoying bug, since I often need to 
xkill emacs while programming.
 
I am wondering if anybody have a KeyTronic keyboard (looks like a very 
normal keyboard) that does not have this problem, or if anybody knows 
how I can fix this.
 
Apart from this, I think FC2 is great!
 
Kindest Regards,
 
Esben
