firefox keyboard mapping in danish
 

Hi all,

I am having trouble with using dansih symbols in web forms with
firefox. The following xmodmap has been loaded (it's an old sun keyboard):

<snip>
keycode 0xE9 = Meta_L Alt_L
keycode 0xEA = Meta_L Alt_L
add Control = Control_R
add mod1 = Meta_L
! Add right meta as Mode-Switch mod2
keycode 0xEE = Mode_switch
add Mod2 = Mode_switch
! Add Latin-1 Danish characters at the ISO 646 positions
keycode 54 = bracketleft braceleft AE ae
keycode 55 = bracketright braceright Aring aring
keycode 56 = backslash bar Ooblique oslash
! Add Latin-1 Danish characters at the usual HP positions
keysym A = A NoSymbol aring Aring
keysym E = E NoSymbol ae AE
keysym O = O NoSymbol oslash Ooblique
</snip>

meaning that M-o should give me a ... well an o with a slash in it
(can't write the damn thing). Does firefox not use the x mappings? Or do
you have to set it explicitly in about:config - and in that case where?

Any input would be appreciated.

Bit of extra info:

The character coding is set to western (ISO-8859-1) for both
composition and display. This character set includes support
for danish national characters as far as I can tell
