Hi!

My name is Weber and I am brazilian.

I fixed errors for the br-abnt2 keyboard in xkb:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28972

Now I found an error for the br-abnt2 in kbd, and I want to help fixing it.

I run slackware 13.1 and kbd 1.15.2 configured like this:

1) In lilo.conf: append=vt.default_utf8=1
2) In /etc/profile.d/lang.sh changed LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
3) In /etc/rc.d/rc.font changed setfont -v lat1-16.psfu.gz
4) In /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap changed /usr/bin/loadkeys br-abnt2

I can type (c cedil) but cannot type (accented letters).

I know the error is in this declaration, but I cant fix it:
compose as usual for "iso-8859-1"

I made a temporary solution:
1) copied  br-abnt2.map to br-abnt2-UTF-8.map
2) commented #compose as usual for "iso-8859-1" in new br-abnt2-UTF-8.map
3) inserted "compose" instructions from us-acentos.map to new br-abnt2-UTF-8.map
4) /usr/bin/loadkeys br-abnt2-UTF-8

Now most of the accented letters are working, but this is only a work
around. We need a fix for it.

Please I need some help:
Its already fixed in current? How can I participate in solving it?

Thank you very much!
Weber K.
