Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I'm currently trying to customize my keymap file, but I have a problem: I'cant make these damn "dead key" correctly capslockable. As the manpage from keymaps say: Each keysym may be prefixed by a '+' (plus sign), in which case this keysym is treated as a "letter" and therefore affected by the "Cap- sLock" the same way as by "Shift" That's what I have in my keymap file: [...] keycode 7 = +dead_circumflex six notsign Control_asciicircum alt keycode 7 = Meta_six [...] With this, when I press the key with keycode 7 and capslock is "on", the caracter "6" is effectively displayed. On the other hand, when capslock is turned "off", this same key displays immediatly (i.e: is no more a dead key): ^B I load the keymap file with: loadkeys file.kmap.gz I'm running linux-2.6.1 on an up-to-date Debian Sid. Could someone tell me how I can make this working ? TIA !
