Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.4.0-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I hope this is the correct place to report this, sorry for any inconveniences.

There is almost no key working correctly to the right of the AltGr

The "PageDown" key generates by itsel the folloing xev output:

---
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x102, subw 0x0, time 12000186, (45,134), root:(264,352),
    state 0x0, keycode 117 (keysym 0xff67, Menu), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x102, subw 0x0, time 12000187, (45,134), root:(264,352),
    state 0x0, keycode 105 (keysym 0xff56, Next), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False
---

this misrecognition makes the PageDown key function both as PageDown AND as
Menu key  (keycode 117 (keysym 0xff67, Menu).

the keuboard section of /etc/xorg.conf is:

---
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option         "XkbModel" "abnt2"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "br"
    Option         "XkbVariant" "abnt2"
    Option         "XkbOptions" "abnt2"
EndSection
---

the xkeycaps model of the keyboard is PC 107 key, wide delete, tall enter... It
is working perfectly on my other machine (amd duron) Debian squeeze. The
keyboard with problems is an USB one, the one that is working is a PS2.

the hardware is this:

And a reference (in portuguese) to an old problem similar to mine

http://www.paldo.org/wiki/ABNT2_Layout

please let me know if what other information would be usefull.

thanks, gunther

Great, closing the bug then.

Geometry is mostly unused these days, so that shouldn't really be a
problem in practice, I think.

Thanks for the followup.
