Re: Define a foreign language keyboard in HP-Ux CDE, with theAltGrkey?:


Nope. Unfortunately not. The output of setxkbmap es -print is:

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes 	{ include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types 	{ include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat	{ include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols	{ include "pc/pc(102)+pc/es"	};
	xkb_geometry	{ include "pc(pc102)"	};
};

See you, Hans.

Looks interesting to do 'X tricks'.

REMARKABLE OBSERVATION:
It looks like the AltGr key is mapped well to the keyboard. Shift-key combinations work well for a Spanish keyboard.


IMPORTANT:
The command "xmodmap -pk" shows that there is NO third definition -so no definition for usage of AltGr key- for any key. All other keys using Shift (2nd definition for a key) shows the Spanish keyboard is mapped fine.


Most likely CDE resets the keyboardlayout.

Please start from the cygwin bash "DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 setxkbmap es"

Does AltGr work now?
