Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
key combinations. Having used xmodmap -pk I see that the 3rd definition of a key
is not defined. I can define it by hand which works fine for hpterm and xterm,
NOT for dtterm.
firstly: what should I do to get this working from the start of a users session?
secondly: what should I do to get it working in dtterm?
The system is accessed through CDE at the HP and Cygwin at the client├В┬┤s side.

Re: Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
To get the users key map set up at start you just create a standard keymap file which you call $HOME/.xmodmaprc. You then put the xmodmap command in the users .profile.
If it is a system wide problem you can put the xmodmap command in /etc/profile, put your keymap file somewhere central like /etc/xmodmaprc and use /etc/xmodmaprc as an argument to your "xmodmap" command.
I do not know how you achieve the same thing with dtterm but I think you might have to use the -xrm argument and a resource string of some kind. The only X resources I know about for dtterm are here (near the bottom of the page)

Re: Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
Prior to running dtterm:
# export XKB_DISABLE=1
to see if this addresses the problem.
The main difference between hpterm and dtterm in this area is that hpterm is based on X11R5 which never supported XKB and dtterm is based on X11R6 which did. Setting the environment variable forces dtterm down the 'old' path and may offer some relief.
Other symptoms of the XKB failure include the inability of the shift lock to operate properly.

Re: Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
more information on how to use it when logging on via X/ CDE.
I have put XKB_DISABLE in the /etc/profile file, but it doesn't make any difference to dtterm.

Re: Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
/etc/profile. It works if it is executed by hand.
I guess it should be executed as soon as a X-application is started.

Re: Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
I think you need to put the "xmodmap" command in .dtprofile

Re: Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
I tried to put the xmodmap command in .dtprofile.
It helps to define the keys for hpterm and xterm. The altGr key is not
working for dtterm however, nor for the X-application of sas we use.
Please tell me what to do

Re: Failure of Alt-Gr definition in X
This is quite an interesting link. It would seem dtterm, being Motif handles things slightly different. It seems you might need to put an override in the Xdefaults file. If your appliaction is based on Motif, it will have the same problrm as dtterm. Anyway, have a look and let us know if you need any help with it. At least, let us know how you get on!
