I went out to carve some xml code that describes some new images for
pyvcp.py code, to add a tachometer dial and a hand full of buttons to be
tied in as tally or short subroutines, and gave up before I got done
with the first line as I was unable to get the keyboards (2) that I
tried, and even rebooted the pi3b once trying to get it to type a '.
The first keypress did nothing, and the second spit out a the reversed
left for right `. I finally did find it, on the right alt+' key combo.
Looking at the Xorg.0.log, I see this:
13.719] (**) Option "xkb_variant" "alt-intl"
Could this be the problem?, and if so, where the heck do I turn that off.
Thanks for any enlightenment.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
