*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 473226 ***
bug 473226 is about wrong keyboard layout, but in this bug compose keymaps fails and the keyboard layout is well recognized
If you edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and change KEYTABLE="la-latin1" to KEYTABLE="latam" does your problem go away?
No, it's worst, in gnome my keyboard layout is wrong with this changes, no accents and no alt-gr. For the record the system is an HP compaq 8710p
In KDE this changes take no effect.
With the system update of 2008-12-18 accents are working again in gtk/gnome apps Partial yum log: Dec 18 13:32:35 Updated: bash-3.2-30.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:37 Updated: mesa-dri-drivers-7.2-0.15.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:47 Updated: mesa-libGL-7.2-0.15.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:47 Updated: mesa-libGLU-7.2-0.15.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:52 Updated: gtk2-2.14.5-3.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:53 Updated: 12:libdhcp4client-4.0.0-33.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:53 Updated: glx-utils-7.2-0.15.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:54 Updated: iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-1.0.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:55 Updated: 12:dhclient-4.0.0-33.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:56 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-62.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:56 Updated: 1:dbus-libs-1.2.4-2.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:57 Updated: 1:dbus-1.2.4-2.fc10.i386 Dec 18 13:32:57 Updated: 1:dbus-x11-1.2.4-2.fc10.i386

I have the same, or at least similar, problem with latin american keyboard. The change in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard proposed doesn't work. An few examples of wrong mappings are: backslash should be generated with "ALT GR °" and is generated with "ALT GR '" left curl parenthesis should be "ALT GR ´" and is "´" without modifier accent a (á) should be "´ + a" and is "' + a"
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
