Hi, After an emerge -e world, followed by emerge -Dp world caused my dead keys/accented chars to not work any more for X/kde appls! On the console they work fine. I am using the same XF86Config file I used before. I have already posted this to gentoo-user but got no working fix. I also have reemerged xfree. I am sending also the LOGs of the sessions. Thanks for any help.
