Oh, it's an old Solaris console bug: when Num Lock is on, those two keys do not work. I opened a bug on it one or two years ago, I believe. Never followed up on it. It doesn't affect X, no worries. > At this time I am not sure, but I would say that you can modify the > following file in your installed system: > > /usr/openwin/lib/locale/fr_FR.UTF-8/Compose (in case you are using > fr_FR.UTF-8 locale) > > I have not tested it yet, so I am not sure if it will work or not. Hmmm, I had tested it, and it didn't work. I seem to remember that it ceased to work with the new IIIM infrastructure (those files didn't seem to be the source of composing anymore). Ah, yes, when the new IIIM was introduced, many compose key sequences were broken, that's when I tried modifying those files, without success. I'll give it a try again, there has been many new patches since them, and hopefully, I'll get time to install b81 and test there, too. > Thanks, You're welcome!
