Re: Keyboard: Problems with German Umlauts: ä. ö, ü ...

[Dr. Christoph Hornung]

hi,

it still does not work... I tried both:

M. Schatzl's document
DF-documentation
- I easily got the german "layout" (like German position of y and z keys)
- however, after playing about around with /.../keymaps/german.iso.kbd, it seems to me that only 7-bit characters are supported. When mapping 7-bit characters (like 'a', '<' etc on to the ü, Ü keys, everything works fine.
ok, that's the status - any suggestions?

kind regards

ch
