Problem with keyboard while typing some characters.

Hello,

I have installed FC6 on my Compaq nx6110 laptop. I was
earlier using 
RHEL4 and there was no issue at all.
With FC6 I am facing some issue with my keyboard when I type
characters 
like " (double quote), ' (single quote), ~ (tilde), `
(back quote) etc. 
These characters wont appear as soon as I type then. But if
I press 
<space key> following these characters, then they
appear.
I had enabled some regional languages during installation,
which had 
installed some package called "SCIM". I suspected
the problem with the 
package and uninstalled it, but it didnt help.

Has anyone come across the same problem? Is there any known
issue?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shridhar

Sounds like "dead keys" are active. With
"dead keys" you are able to type 
characters like ñ or é.

Where do you have this problems? KDE? Gnome? Or on the
console? Both KDE 
and Gnome have their own keyboard managers which are
responsible for the 
layouts. If you expect those troubles on the console, use 
system-config-keyboard to change the keyboard layout and
deactivate the 
dead keys.
