Re: Problem with setxkb

Hi Branden, all,

thank's for your quick reply last time. (In January archives.)
(I reported that I had problems with setxkbmap.)
Now I have more detail:

I don't know what causes this, it might be just that I'm doing something wrong.

When I have
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
in my XF86Config-4's keyboard section,
I try 'setxkbmap -v -layout de' to get kill my keys (disable the nodeadkeys).
This does not work.

When I have disabled the nodeadkeys in the config file, however, I can use above
call to setxkbmap to undo the changes of 'setxkbmap -v -layout -variant nodeadkeys'.

Is there any way to use setxkbmap or similar to disable nodeadkeys when it's in
the config?

It's rather important to have nodeadkeys as a default because a dead tilda (~)
is sort of dangerous when clumsily removing backup files. ;)

Cheers

Thomas
