Hi,
I think that the rc.con file should be:

KEYMAP="de-latin1-nodeadkeys" 

without .map.gz

Re: xorg and keyboard err (KDE) [SOLVED]

what abaout your locale.gen file have you ever set it up de_DE lines seen below:

#de_DE.UTF-8    UTF-8
#de_DE  ISO-8859-1

Hi,

I can't help you, but I can tell you that I have exactly the same issue.

In Console and GTK-Apps (or rather: Non-KDE-Apps) Umlauts work, but not in KDE apps.

Pretty nasty, I posted a topic in the Newbie forum.
Since you also have this issue this might be a bug??

Hi,

finally I can type Umlauts in KDE.

Don't ask me what I did exactly, here are my relevant configs.
I got German keyboard layout (everywhere) and English texts.

Maybe they work for you too? (If so - put them on the Wiki :

rc.conf:
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Berlin"
KEYMAP="de-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

/etc/profile:
export LANG="en_US.utf8"
export LC_COLLATE="C"

xorg.conf:
    Option "XkbRules"    "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel"    "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout"    "de"
    Option      "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"

KDE Keyboard config:
- Language is English
- Layout: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout de -variant nodeadkeys

locale -a:
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8

Hope this helps you - you need more information, just ask
