I understand that you have a 105 keys keyboard and you use a definition
for a 104 keys keyboard. What have you in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file
for the keyboard? I have this:


Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc104"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
#       Option      "XkbDisable"
EndSection

Replace 104 with 105 and us with thw two letters for Swedish.
This will solve your problems under X. If you have the same problem
under the console, you need to add the definition for that key in
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz.

That line is:

keycode  86 = less             greater

or

keycode  86 = less             greater       bar

You may do that in /usr/share/keymaps/defkeymap.kmap if you have no
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file.
