Hi, when I run xev a,d I push the "j" button, the output is:

Code:
KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 1041239, (383,-12), root:(936,13),
    state 0x0, keycode 44 (keysym 0x6a, j), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6a) "j"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

When I push the left arrow key, the output is:

Code:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 1042199, (383,-12), root:(936,13),
    state 0x0, keycode 100 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False
I don't know if this informtion is useful. I'm just a computer user, who uses freeBSD for my working station.

I'm using a belgian keyboard. I've put in .xinitrc the following line:

Code:
setxkbmap be
EDIT: when I remove this line from .xinitrc, my cursor moves appropriqtely. But now I have a US keyboard instead of a Belgian. qwerty instead of azerty.
