Description Karel Clock Kulhavy 2005-01-16 00:52:23 UTC

When I press acute key ("=") on my PC-104 keyboard and have keyboard switched to
cz and then press for example 'i', the window with xterm is closed instead of
iacute being printed. The same happens in vi under xterm.

I have tried icewm and twm to be sure it's not a problem of the windowmanager.
The problem persists in both.

I have configured keyboard in /etc/X11/xorg.conf exactly
according to http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.1/doc/XKB-Config.html

This is relevant section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
                Option "Autorepeat" "250 30"
                Option "XkbModel"       "pc104"
                Option "XkbLayout"      "us,cz"
                Option "XkbOptions"     "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

It is almost an example from the http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.1/doc/XKB-Config.html,
only 'de' is removed, and still it doesn't work.

I have tried cz_qwerty too and it has the same problem.

Tried links-current (later than 2.1pre15) and writing accented char using dead
keys writes the char without the accent, without closing window.

Compiled and tried rxvt and writing accented char using dead key in rxvt writes
first the dead key (immediately when the dead key is pressed) and then the char
without the accent.
