Accented char not present

Hi,

I try since many days to set correctly the console to have accented  
characters. I'm usig SUSE 9.2, freshly installed.  I have choose  
french-canadian as keyboard layout which should load cf.map.gz which  
include the line "compose as usual 8859-1".  The keyboard is correctly set  
but the compose isn't working.  In console i can't get accented  
characters. Also, with Opera Web browser, over KDE, Opera isn't get  
accented chars. It just display `e instead of egrave. I suppose Opera  
isn't take the X config because other apps as Kwrite or OpenOffice have  
correct accents.

With all the behavior i can observe, i think the problem is when the  
keyboard driver try to compose. Here is an excerpt of dumpkeys  
--compose-only:

compose '`' 'A' to '
compose '`' 'a' to '
compose '\'' 'A' to '
compose '\'' 'a' to '
compose '^' 'A' to '
compose '^' 'a' to '
compose '~' 'A' to '
compose '~' 'a' to '
compose '"' 'A' to '
compose '"' 'a' to '
compose 'O' 'A' to '

In YAST, under sysconfig, hardware, keyboard, i have the following value  
pair:
cf.map.gz for KEYTABLE
latin1.add for COMPOSETABLE

I try some other combinations, utf8 instead of latin1.add, with and  
without clear keyword. But my composetable seems always empty.

A clue?

Thanks
