Default Umlauts


In SL8.1 I have used keybindings like

keycode 31 = i I iacute idiaeresis
keycode 32 = o O odiaeresis ocircumflex

to get Umlauts and other accents. Those definitions were in the .Xmodmap
file in the home directory.

In SL9.1 these bindings seem to have changed. Is there an easy way of
finding which new values are applicable?

Thanks

JB

with the command 'xev'. (run from an xterm.) but i'm sure you'll find that
the keycodes haven't changed. something else must be wrong. provide some
more details and perhaps someone can give you a hint.

comp.tools.unusable or something... ;-)
