Hello
I'm new in this list. I'm the Application Maintainer of Corel Draw 9 and Railroad Tycoo3 so I hope I'm ready to discuss with the developers on a equal level.
I have a very strange behaviour when using wine (the original suse rpm, the compiled source code (release or cve)) on SuSE 10 on a Intel ia32 machine.
All Windows Programs (running on wine) don't accept german umlauts (äöü) keys. The rest of system (console, X-Window System) accepts it (as Yours can see in the mail). Does somebody has a idea about the reason behind this behaviour?
Many Thanks
Roland Kaeser

Hmm no.
Can you try if:
LANG=de_DE@euro wine foo.exe
works better?
Ciao, Marcus
Thanks
No, makes no diffrence. It seems that the problem is based on a SuSE specific configuration or library version. Can somebody tell me how wine gets the keyboard events, or whats happen in wine when users presses keys? I might help to debug this issue. I tried 0.9.5 on Fedora 4 and it worked there. I had a similar problem with X as I ran a Yast software update and only a downgrade to a previous version of X could fix the problem. No the german umlauts in X works properly and I cannot downgrade in case of a very special graphics card with vendor specific drivers.

It reads raw X events, and translates them multiple times between different representations (X keycodes, scancodes, windows virtkeys).
You could run with:
WINEDEBUG=+key,+keyboard wine program.exe
and see if there is any useful debugging info (check what happens when you type an umlaut).

Hello
Previously i played a bit around with setxkbmap but couldn't get a satisfactorily response. Currently I use: "setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout ch -variant de_Sundeadkeys" for a swiss german keyboard layout. But actually all german umlaut keys seems to be returning only the ü (ue) key although the traced keyboard events (as with WINEDEBUG option) responses diffrent keyboard events. I attached all traces for the diffrent keybaord events. Eventually You can see someting in this I read it but couldn't get a reasonable information out of the traces.
Thanks
