Description Olivier Reisch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-17 12:05:13 UTC 
Q: I recently emerged XFree, but when using it, my international keyboard layout
does not work correctly. The main keys work fine but I am unable to compose
special characters like the "at" sign. The startx output says something like
"could not load keymap, falling back to default keymap". What is wrong?

A: Check that the permissions on /var/tmp are set to drwxrwxrwx. If not, change
them by typing chmod a+rwx /var/tmp This will allow XFree to load keymaps
properly again.
