Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.8-2
Severity: normal

After a fresh installation of Debian 6.0 I faced a problem with
German Keyboard with non working, but very important, AltGr keys.

I have selected for the kyeboard 'Deutch' and for the variant 'Deutch'.
I tried all meaningful variants, but non of them are working.
Always the same keys are not working (no ouput at all).

Debian 6.0 is running as a virtual machine in KVM and VirtualBox
and uses the 'evdev' driver for keyboard and mouse.

The following AltGr keys are not working:

  'AltGr' + '7' --> '{'
  'AltGr' + '8' --> '['
  'AltGr' + '9' --> ']'
  'AltGr' + '0' --> '}'
  'AltGr' + 'ß' --> '\'
  'AltGr' + 'q' --> '@'
  'AltGr' + '+' --> '~'
  'AltGr' + '<' --> '|'

Intrestingly this key is working:

  'AltGr' + 'e' --> '€'

Also all other keys are working.

Here is my xkb mapping:

> setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+de+de(nodeadkeys):2+inet(evdev)"    };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

And here is my xmod mapping:

> xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)

Then I try to find out whats wrong with the key mapping.

Here is the output of the 'xev' program when I hit the 'AltGr' key
in combination with all the non working keys and working '€' key:

As you could see only the '€' key shows a meaningful 'XmbLookupString'
output. For all other keys there is either nothing or meaningless output.
This looks to me that the key mapping for all of this keys are wrong.

I did a very hard search on the net to find a solution, but nothing so far.
Is there any keymap to solve this problem ?

Closing as not our bug, thanks.
