I'm using keymap="german.cp850" in /etc/sysconfig, which matches my German keyboard a whole lot better. Here is my environment so far: LANG=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 And I have no problems to get äöü in an xterm and a vi session for example... I'm running FreeBSD-current Don't know, which special settings I did, if I look at my environment, nothing special. It simply works. As far as I know, XFree86 gets the keymappings or such from syscons ... So choose the correct keyboard mapping as mentioned above and it should work. -- andreas@klemm.gtn.com /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ Support Unix -- andreas.klemm@wup.de pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<<
