You don't need any modmap-File to get your keyboard working with any iso-8859-1 Font. Simply enable
in your XF86Config - Section "Keyboard"
if you want to get the German 'Umlaut' inside your ISC X11R4 client xpcterm when you are using the ega/vga font. Set up the user's .Xdefaults to contain:
XEga*AT386.Translations: #override \ Shift<Key>odiaeresis: string(0x99) \n\ <Key>odiaeresis: string(0x94) \n\ Shift<Key>adiaeresis: string(0x8e) \n\ <Key>adiaeresis: string(0x84) \n\ Shift<Key>udiaeresis: string(0x9a) \n\ <Key>udiaeresis: string(0x81) \n\ Shift<Key>ssharp: string(0x3f) \n\ Meta<Key>ssharp: string(0x5c) \n\ <Key>ssharp: string(0xe1)
The only disadvantage is that you have to use Alt
instead of
AltGr
to get the \
Backslash (on a German
Keyboard)
You have to call your xpcterm with the option
-name XEga -fn ega
to compile X11-Clients as either R6 or R5 clients,
should be as easy as you only switch the PATH components
so that either /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf
or
/usr/X386/bin/xmkmf
would make the new Makefile.
The old path to the pipes on ISC's R4 /tmp/.X11-unix
has changed to /dev/X/ISCCONN
. For compatibility
reasons on ISC, the pipes in the new directory will be
linked to a file inside the old.
This will normally be a hard link, so it can't go across
filesystems. On ISC Version 4.x this is now allowed. But
you should use the new S5L on both filesystems.
ISC30 systems should take care that the two directories
are on the same FS. Else if you are using a ISC40 compiled
binary, the Server could maybe abort due to a SIGSYS.
We tried to catch this signal, so if it dumps please send
me a note.
