Hi list,

This might not really be a -dev issue, but I need help anyway ;-)

I've set up my swiss-french keyboard under XF4; works partly...

What doesn't work is characters I need to type with the <alt> modifier;
they somehow get 0x80 added to the keysym before it is delivered to an
app.

xev shows the correct charcter map, keysym etc. However, it's wrong once
it appears in eg. an xterm: hitting <alt>3 should produce '#' (keysym
0x23), but in xterm the result is '£' (keysym 0xa3).

Any idea? FWIW, I'm using xmodmap to set the mapping under X. Also,
console is OK, so it's really an X issue...

  Can you send me the xmodmap file so i can look at it ? it might be a
problem in xf4 the 0x80 sounds very strange...
