[SOLVED] dvorak layout, polish characters

Hello everyone, thats my first post here.
first of all, im using dvorak.
I tried searching on forums but found nothing on keywords "pl" "dvorak" "polish" etc.
So i decided to ask: i'm running on fluxbox. In console,  when i press alt + s,a,o etc. it gives me normal polish chars, but after xinit, it does not.
in xterm i get some weird things, in aterm nothing. I cant use polish characters even in firefox, but it shows them with no problems, when they are on pages.
PS. my locales etc are set like "polonization" tutorial shows, i turn dvorak with setxkbmap dvorak (did shortcut for that, and for "us" in fluxbox menu.)

I know nothing about neither dvorak nor fluxbox so I'm only guessing here.

Can you post the link? I've found this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flu … oard_right

How do you start xterm? I have utf-8 enabled 'exec xterm -class UXTerm -title uxterm -u8' in my .xinitrc, but I think it shouldn't matter for Polish "ogonki".

Re: [SOLVED] dvorak layout, polish characters

Setting the layout via setxkbmap appears to work here.

setxkbmap -layout pl -variant dvorak

To make this the default, see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … d_settings.  It should simply be a matter of setting the layout to 'pl', and the variant to 'dvorak' for either hal or xorg.conf.
