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

thanks
Hi!
I wonder, is there someone actually reading this bugreport? It's been
ages since it got reported and I know from several people that are
facing the same issue, too, so it's not a single-person's problem...

The exactly same problem here - though only for some applications like
firefox and pidgin. In other applications like gvim and rxvt-unicode the
AltGr keybindings totally work.

PowerBook G4 with German keyboard layout.

For me it was keycode 0x86 (134), but this workaround doesn't seem to
work anymore, thus I'm raising the severity of the bugreport.

This is the section from over here:
#v+
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:rwin_switch"
EndSection
#v-
If there is *anything* we could help to track down this issue like
debugging or testing, or if you actually do need further informations,
pretty please let us know. Don't let the bugreport sit around and grow
dust like that, I doubt that this issue will magically go away.
Thanks,
Rhonda
