I just completed installation of FC5, and being in Montreal, Canada, did it with the Canadian French Keyboard,

The keyboard is selected during the install setup.

Well, it works for the regular keys, but not for the alternate character keys.

Thus, I do not have access to @, or some other accented characters such as è ô Nöel etc or the Euro symbol.

There is an altChar on the right side, next to the space bar, and before the Windoz popup button.

QUESTION

Is there a parameter file that I can locate that maps the keyboard character sequence to an ISO character.

The Fedora Core4 keyboard handler works just fine. It is with Fedora Core 5 for Gnome and KDE that I am having the problem. I will try it as well in the terminal mode for the next email, as I am on a laptop, far away from the afflicted machine.

I hava a similiar but still worse problem...my external keyboard is not being detected even(FC5).It is Frontech JIL-8062.And my sys is DELL-inspiron 6000.It is well detected with Ubuntu and windows.

Hi,

Exact same problem as Lsatenstein. Who could help?

I am now able to use my keyboard complete with multimedia keys.Just upgraded kernel to 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 and it worked fine. just give a try..it might work.
