missing accented letters and symbols

Hi, I'm a semi-noob using Debian Etch.

I messed with the sources, and now my system, while working well in remote connections using XMing or similars, doesn't take accented letters or symbols like "{" "}" and many others, from the keyboard.

I've been told this could be a fonts problem, what seems strange to me is that if I cat some file containing those chars, those are output fine.

Can you please help me?

thanks :)

Try:

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and selecting your correct keyboard layout, then restarting X.

thanks, but it doesn't work.

svn is printing a warning that I never saw, maybe can be related:

Code:

svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale

svn: warning: environment variable LANG is it

svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct

Try:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

and generating en_US.ISO-8859-1 , en_US.utf8, and any other languages you use.

still not working, but thanks for your advices.
another strange thing is that in the keyboard settings the preview is shown when remote connected, but not if working locally.

I attach my Xorg.0.log: I think it may be useful though I can't understand how :)
