Details

Description:
Norwegian keyboard layout doesn't work with the new x.org packages
(works correct before X starts. "no-latin1" in rc.conf)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
X.Org X Server 1.4.0
Build Date: 07 November 2007 11:19:12AM

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Select Norwegian "no" keymap either in kde or xorg.conf
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "no"

Then the Norwegian special characters is displayed as "? ? ?" instead of "æ ø å"
This task depends upon

Note: Danish keymap works correct, which is similar to the Norwegian layout. But differs on the positioning of the special characters.

Fixed it. My mistake actually, in the past I have used LOCALE="en_US.utf8" in rc.conf, this has worked perfect (not anymore it seems). But switching to LOCALE="nb_NO.utf8" fixed it.
