Comment 24 for bug 296216

I am also having problems with the compose key. Unlike others here, I can't type accented characters no matter whether I press the accent first or the letter first.

With Xserver 1.5.2 that is in Intrepid, I had to manually create the xorg.conf file, and I copied my config from my old Hardy xorg.conf, but it doesn't work anymore.

Here is the relevant section from my xorg.conf file - has the syntax changed perhaps?

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver "kbd"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
        Option "XkbOptions" "compose:lwin"
EndSection
