Thanks rworkman, i edited the file as i need, with <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">pt</merge>

everything works fine except my accent keys like: é á and so on.

The new hal package is now part of -current, so that part is handled. Re the accents, I know that PiterPUNK said they work for him, so I'm not sure what's going on with your setup.

The 10-keymap file is what you posted except for this part:

<!-- Edit (as needed) these four lines in the copied fdi file -->
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">pt</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />


And the xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "DRI" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection


I still can't get the accent keys, i don't know what could be wrong

My locales:

LANG=pt_PT.utf8
LC_CTYPE="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_TIME="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_PAPER="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_NAME="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_ALL=

When i press an accent key, it shouldn't print any character, only when i press the second, example, i get "´o" instead "ó"

Paste the output of "setxkbmap -print" here.

bruno@deathstar:~$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+pt(nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};

PiterPUNK says the "nodeadkeys" is the problem - you don't want that.

How do i set up my setxkbmap without the nodeadkeys ?

Problem solved removing the nodeadkeys option:

setxkbmap -layout "pt" -variant "basic"

Thanks for everyone that helped me.

and for the record, I *think* this would be the correct fdi contents:

Those are the settings i have now, thanks all and happy slacking!

New update guys, after reboot the keyboard still has the same issues (no accent keys), i can i make the change permanent? I already have

<!-- Edit (as needed) these four lines in the copied fdi file -->
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">pt_PT</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">basic</merge>

as suggested, but still after each boot i have to type:

setxkbmap -layout "pt" -variant "basic"

Then something in either kde or xfce is changing your keymap. I found that xfce's xkb plugin would do that if it's being used, but I don't know what part of kde to blame.

I disabled the option in KDE to change or assign keyboard layouts, witch module is the one for xfce's xkb plugin? Maybe it's running on my pc..

It's xfce4-xkb-plugin - it's not included with Slackware, so you don't accidentally have it installed :-)
