Bug#514053: AltGr does not work at first
Hi list
I confirm this bug and the "workaround" (key press during early X login
session)
I didn't run into this problem before I made the update from Lenny 5.01 > 5.02
last week.
Now xev shows the right key codes with AltGR + Key, but the output
in terminal is wrong. The other modifier keys I tried seem to work fine.
The bug won't show if I login with gdm, it only shows if I auto-login with
gdm. So it is triggered to a missing key press between setxkbmap (run by xorg
via xorg.conf entry) and xmodmap (run by a Xsession.d sourced script).
I use setxkbmap to set the kbd layout, xmodmap is used to deactivate caps-lock
only.
For now I'll switch off the Xsessiond.d script as a workaround, and run xmodmap
in a later stage of X login. Like this AltGr works fine again.
Greetings
Mr. Tux
