I edited my /etc/bashrc to take out my: xmodmap -e "keysym Menu = Multi_key" And I edited my /etc/X11/XF86Config. The XkbModel was already pc105, the layout had been simply "us". Also, there was a: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" that I had to comment out to get any composing to work. Here is a fragment of what I have now (commented lines removed): Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "en_US" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu" EndSection I still can't get a euro character. I am using Abiword as a test bed and I can compose other characters there. Also, my right Alt key seems to have become a dead key. For example alt ' e yields a ^ over an e. But compose ^ e also does that, so I am not sure I am ahead, as my fingers think that alt key is meta in emacs. Is this stuff documented anywhere? Last I tired to make sense of the XF86Config file I was not very successful in finding much.
