Description Sadysta 2008-08-08 08:28:14 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 4.1.1 Using built-in specs. Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1 --includedir=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/include --datadir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1 --mandir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/man --infodir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/include/g++-v4 --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --disable-altivec --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --with-system-zlib --disable-checking --disable-werror --enable-secureplt --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-multilib --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libgcj --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r3)
OS:                Linux

I simply cannot input any Polish diactric characters. Right Alt doesn't affect A, E, Z, X, O, L, N keys as it should (i.e. producing acute or ogonek versions respectively).

Additional info:

Running setxkbmap manually from terminal works just fine (sets the appropriate keyboard layout).

Sometimes after running setxkbmap manually, KDE Keyboard Layout Switcher (kxkb) segfaults:

Comment 2 Sadysta 2008-09-02 23:26:36 UTC
I've tracked it down to be the problem with multiple installed keyboard layouts. When I use pl only it's just fine, but when I want to have several layouts (pl, us, de) installed to choose from using Layout Switcher then none of them work. That's because KDE seems to run setxkbmap -layout pl,de,us instead of running setxkbmap -layout pl, -layout de or -layout us depending on layout selected at the moment.

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
