Hi,

> There are 2 different hungarian keyboard layouts in YDL, but they are not

> 
> A few missworking keys:
> -Delete is not working
> -Instead of iacuete "í" i have "0"
> -The "command" buttons are not working.
> -The F1-F12 buttons are not working

I had recently  the same problems using a PowerBook with a Swiss-German 
layout.

Here my procedure:
1. /etc/X11/X86Config
     Confiure a Xkb-Mapping as close as possible..
    My settings:
    Option    "XkbRules"    "xfree86"
    Option    "XkbModel"    "pc105"
    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de_CH"

> I guess it would be enough to edit the keyboard mapping file. I need help on
> this topic.
> 
> Another solution would be, if i could use the keycodes. iacuete "í" has 3
> codes
> 31, 94, and 44 as far as i remember.
> 
> On windows if i press ALTGR+j, i have iacuete. Is there something similar in
> YDL?

2. Modify the resulting map to your own needs
     Start X-Windows and open an xterm
     $ xmodmap -pke  >    Xmodmap
     This extract the actual layout an writes it in Xmodmap.(See 
Attachement as example)
    Now you can configure your keys. If you don't know the keycode of a 
key, use
    $ xev &
     Save your seetings.
     Name the file .Xmodmap and copy it to your $HOME. Restart X-Window

    Syntax: (do a man xmodmap)
    keycode = normal shift mod2

    My config uses:
   @ = Apple+2
   # = Apple+3
  [] = Apple+ü and Apple+¨
  {} = Apple+ä and Apple+$
  \ = Apple+<

      mit freundlichen Gruessen / Yours
