Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.49
Severity: important
Hi,
It seems that the "AltGr key replacement" currently has no
effect. I've installed keyboard-configuration a few days
ago and at that time selected "The default for the keyboard
layout", and things kept working like they were, it still
acted like a right alt key.
Now I've booted in a new kernel and it acted like a left alt key.
So I've reconfigured it to set it to "Right Alt". But that
doesn't seem to have any effect, it still acts like a left alt
key. The config file /etc/default/keyboard says:
XKBMODEL="pc102"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

Console-setup does exactly what you requrested in the configuration
file. If you want the righ alt key to behave as AltGr and not as Alt,
when when console-setup asks the question "AltGr key replacement",
please answer "Right Alt". Then check that in
/etc/console-setup/keyboard you have
XKBOPTIONS=lv3:ralt_switch
I am closing this bug because you have already reported a duplicate of
it. Please, look at http://bugs.debian.org/524235
