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
