Hi Henning

Sorry for the slow reply.

Is the Gentoo build using the X11 output driver or the SDL one, do you know? 

If it's built against SDL then setting the option sdl.map_raw_keys=true in 
your config file will generally alllow better support for international 
keyboards.

If it's using the X11 driver, then do you have kbd_lang=de set in your config 
file? (You can also set this at run-time within UAE with the uaecontrol 
tool).

If you still have no luck, then can you run xev from a shell terminal, press 
the offending key and then forward me the output for that key?

For example, if I press the 'a' key, xev outputs the keypress event as:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
    root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 80320190, (-304,329), root:(527,551),
    state 0x0, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "a"

Cheers,
Rich
