• Keyboard:

  You don't need any modmap-File to get your keyboard working with any iso-8859-1 Font. Simply enable

  • LeftAlt Meta
  • RightAlt ModeShift
  • RightCtl Compose

  in your XF86Config - Section "Keyboard"

• xpcterm:

  if you want to get the German 'Umlaut' inside your ISC X11R4 client xpcterm when you are using the ega/vga font. Set up the user's .Xdefaults to contain:

           XEga*AT386.Translations: #override \
                     Shift<Key>odiaeresis: string(0x99) \n\
                          <Key>odiaeresis: string(0x94) \n\
                     Shift<Key>adiaeresis: string(0x8e) \n\
                          <Key>adiaeresis: string(0x84) \n\
                     Shift<Key>udiaeresis: string(0x9a) \n\
                          <Key>udiaeresis: string(0x81) \n\
                     Shift<Key>ssharp: string(0x3f) \n\
                      Meta<Key>ssharp: string(0x5c)  \n\
                          <Key>ssharp: string(0xe1)
           
  

  The only disadvantage is that you have to use Alt instead of AltGr to get the \ Backslash (on a German Keyboard)

  You have to call your xpcterm with the option -name XEga -fn ega

• Switching between X11R5 and X11R6 configuration

  to compile X11-Clients as either R6 or R5 clients, should be as easy as you only switch the PATH components so that either /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf or /usr/X386/bin/xmkmf would make the new Makefile.
