Re: German keyboard layout (AltGr-key)



I had another search in the internet. There were many bugs concerning xorg and the right Alt-key reported this summer, but no solution! That's what I did this evening:

Boot from liveCD
startx
Right Alt-key doesn't work
exit (of the GUI)
startx
Right Alt-key works fine
exit (of the GUI)
diff /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old /var/log/Xorg.0.log

The result is, that the old log-file has this error message:
Error compiling keymap (server-0)
XKB: Couldn't compile keymap

So I assume that there is something wrong with xorg on the liveCD. Curiously I have no problems with my all-day Debian that is stable-version too. Do you think this is a bug of live-helper/debian-live or a bug of xorg? I think some (or most) of you must have the same problem when you build a liveCD based on Debian stable with German keyboard.

Best wishes
Oliver
