[desktop-discuss] Solaris 10 and 11: num lock and java problem

[Tonton Dede]

Hi,

I am using jdk 1.5.0_12; using 1.6 is not an option for now.

I am using a belgian keyboard and characters based on AltGr cannot be 
used either in Swing apps. For instance AltGr+2 gives me the character é 
(as if I'd type the 2 key without modifier) instead of @ but in the 
terminal, for example, everything is OK.

This problem is independent from the NumLock issue.

Kind regards,
TD
