Hi,
OK, OK, I'll be more world-centric ;-)
I'm just trying to help you to make the best X for the whole world, and, you
know, I'm very, very happy that this project starts to look for foreign (for US
citizen I mean ;-) ) keyboards.
I'm following it for more 3 years and waiting for this keyboard problem since
the beginning.
I can't find any time for developping (Be sure I regret that, I'd love to) but I
can spend some time testing at work.
But I still don't understand why xev gives a good result and not the direct
typing in a xterm. Do you have any explaination how it is possible ?
