Hi Harold and others,
I installed the new version of the Xserver and I got some closer but not
as close as I´d like.
Using Xserv 4.3.0-21 and defining the keyboard as Spanish in XF86Config
gave me the following:
- Shift key combinations work as supposed on a Spanish keyboard.
- AltGr key combinations don't work.
- In the xmodmap -pk output I can see that there is no definition for
key combinations with AltGr, and that the AltGr key is defined as:
113 0xfe03 (ISO_Level3_Shift) 0xff20 (Multi_key)
- I am still working with HP-UX CDE.
- The definitions in /etc/X11/XF86Config are:
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
# Option "LeftAlt" "Meta"
Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"
- XWin.log says it's installing the keyboard OK.
Any suggestions to resolve this will be more than welcome.
Regards, Hans.
