Hi,
I'm new to DragonFly, I have several Problem with my keyboard. My preferred locale is en_GB.UTF-8 and I want to use UTF-8 as the input 
charset (vi, etc.), but it doesn't work . Some special characters (german umlaute) and e.g. the at character aren't recognised by the 
console and xorg (including urxvt), with en_GB.UTF-8 -- with LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-1 everything works. How can I use en_GB.UTF-8 and type 
UTF-8 texts?
