kde 3.5.2 and polish keyboard

Hi,

Just as I installed the new kde 3.5.2 Polish keyboard layout does not produce Polish letters anymore. How can I repair that? Any Suggestions?

I don't know about KDE but in Xfce you have to set the XkbLayot variable to corresponding keymap. On my system it's found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbLayout" "se"
        Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection

I guess that (if you have the xorg.conf file) that you would set yours to "po" or whatever your country "signature" is.

[EDIT]
Coming to think about it it's not a variable but it does the same. Just write it as I have above.

That's not it. It worked perfectly before the last upgrade (I set polish keyboard in KDE, and that was sufficient). Now, after upgrade to KDE3.5.2, and some other upgrades, it does not work. The problem appears as if 'alt gr' key didn't work.

Hi. I don't think it's kbd layout problem. Check /etc/locale.gen if your locale is uncommented and then run locale-gen. Restart and everything should work now.
I couldn't write some czech letters, instead of them it writes two squares. This fixed the problem.
