Hello all,

The characters that should be available under third level shift
(mapped to "Alt Gr" on my keyboard) cannot be typed when running X.
In a ttyv they work just fine.

I read through the keyboard and kbdcontrol man pages a bit and came up
with the following setup:

In /etc/rc.conf I have included the line

keymap="be.iso.acc"

in order to load the be.iso.acc keymap on boot.

The line that defines e.g. the key with &, 1 and | has the following
entry in the be.iso.acc.kbd file:

# scan cntrl alt alt cntrl lock
# code base shift cntrl shift alt shift cntrl shift state
# ------------------------------------------------------------------

002 '&' '1' nop nop '|' '|' nop nop O

Looks correct to me.

When I check the key events with xev everything looks fine too; the
"Alt Gr" key is read as ISO 3rd-level shift, and pressing e.g. "Alt Gr"
and the "&" key is read out as the "|" character.

I've also added the following in my .login_conf file

me:\
:charset=iso-8859-1:\
:lang=en_US.ISO8859-1:

to make sure I'm using the iso-8859-1 charset. Without this I cannot
type characters such as é and ç without using the compose key.

That's all I can come up with for now. I googled my *ss off, but to no
further avail.

Is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks.
