Hello Edd, sure there are different solutions for this problem, but as far as I am concerned, I think it is nicer to correct the wrong mapping of AltGr at it's root which is in /etc/X11/... . But if it goes beyond that, I would rather choose your way. There is a docu about "X Keyboard Extension" here: http://www.tsu.ru/~pascal/en/xkb/ Bye, claas
