Hi,

I just bought a stowaway bluetooth keyboard. It works pretty well, only the currency keys don't work (euro, pound, yen).

I'd like to customise the layout so that I can add some dead keys to type diacritical marks (I want to type Chinese pinyin: "Wǒ huì shuō Hànyǔ"). But I have no idea how Nokia has screwed around with xkb configuration under Maemo. I tried modifying /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/su-8w but it didn't have any effect. Neither does changing the layout in the "Bluetooth keyboard" control panel.

Does anyone know what symbol file gets used when a bluetooth keyboard connects?

I often use setxkbmap to change the keyboard layout.
It seems that you can call it with a custom layout file, but never tested that.
I'll be happy to know how to create that file ...
