Expected Results: The keymap should also work with unicode. I've just commented line 34 to # alt keycode 13 = Meta_acute So everything works fine for me rigth now. BTW: -What ist this Meta_acute for? -Why does ist work without unicode but doesn't work with? Cheers, Oli
you neglected to provide `emerge info` like the bug report page said to also, what do you have your KEY* and CONSOLE* variables set to in baselayout ?
O.k., sorry, thought you don't need the emerge info in this case.

remove the '-u' crap from your KEY* variables
