Bug#522635: xserver-xorg-input-kbd: alt-gr doesn't work for some characters



Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.3.1-1
Severity: normal


After doing an upgrade from X, kbd 1.2.0-1+1.2.1 to this version, I'm no
longer able to type characters like |, @, \

This is on an Acer TM291, with a spanish keyboard. I didn't change anything
in xorg.conf

Creating a file with "keycode 113 = Mode_switch" and loading that with xmodmap
makes the keys work again.

Keyboard section reads:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "es"
EndSection
