    EMW> My deadkey line in XF86Config is:

So the line is commented out ?

Depending on your X-version just set up the keyboard with XF86Setup
(3.xx) or dexter (4.xx) or the like.

Another interesting tool might be setxkbmap ... and on a higher level
keymap-applets (for kde or gnome), that makes it possible to switch
keymaps on the fly if you are writing in several languages ...
