I use on a TiBook 400 MHz:
xmodmap changemodifier
where the file changemodifier consists of:
keycode 108 = Mode_switch
because I need no damn Keypad Enter (to the right of the space bar). I
wonder whose idea it was and what they have consumed before.
With the above I change the Keypad_Enter to AltGR which is badly needed on
a German keyboard. You need it also for \ @ | and € (Euro sign).
Whoever is the maintainer for X (Mr. Dänzer?), you could perhaps include a
new keymap variant like xfree86/macintosh/de/pc-like where there is an
AltGR key. I don't like the @ sign on L instead of Q as I was used to on
the x86 architecture.
Salut
