stupid keyboard question

[David Backeberg]

Hey list:

So I now own a Dell Latitude D610 laptop. I have a funky keyboard issue.

In my tty consoles, my key mapping is perfect. My real problem is in KDE, 
with the )B´/¨ key, which may look funny in your mailer. Somehow my 
apostrophe / quote key generates a character other than the one that bash 
interprets as a single or double quote, and therefore, any bash commands I 
type involving commands with quotes aren)B´t properly interpreted.

I)B´m using KDE 3.4.2, built from source with xorg 6.8.2.

I think my problems are either in my xorg.conf or in my KDE settings, but 
I)B´m really not sure where best to look for my problems. My problems may 
also be due to some weirdness involving the Dell laptop keyboard.

I)B´m looking for suggestions for where to begin my search for the solution. 
My apostrophe woes aren)B´t limited to konsole, but apply to all 
applications run within KDE, and possibly X. I)B´m going to run a non-KDE X 
session now to try to determine whether my problem is KDE-specific.

Thanks!
