Hi!

I emerged the new xorg-x11 and made a configuration with xorgcfg today. Before this I had no X installed.
But now the pipe-key (and so the smaller/larger function) isn't working under X.
As I have a german keyboard I set XkbLayout to "de" and XkbModel to "pc102". XkbRules is set to "xorg". But others don't work either.
In the console there is no problem with this.
And my window manager is gnome but under this ugly wm that comes with X the same problem occurs.
So what can I do? Is it a problem of the new xorg?

Thanks!

Try setting pc102 to pc105. I had pc104 working great with xfree but it didn't work with xorg.

Hi i have the same problems as you describe and im using a microsoft natural keyboard. I read something on the xorg site buglist that someone had some problems with M$ keyboards..

Anyway is there a way to remap my keys so i could get "Alt Gr" to work again???

Hey cool.
I also emerged xorg and renamed my XF86Config-4 to xorg.conf.
Generally my "Alt Gr" key works. But the @ only appears on an aterm :?

I will look at the keyboard settings at home...

Option "XkbModel" "pc105" worked like a charm for me :D ... now I can use the pipe sign again... :)

xorg 6.7, kahakai 0.6.2

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard1"
        Driver      "Keyboard"
        Option      "AutoRepeat" "100 100"
        Option      "XkbRules"   "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel"   "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout"  "de"
        Option      "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#       Option      "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"


Here not. No AltGr in gtk apps.

Interesting...nearly my settings...here are mine:

[quote="Konsti"]
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Identifier  "Keyboard[0]"
        Option      "MapName"  "Standard Keyboard [ pc104 ]"
         Option     "Protocol"  "Standard"
        Option      "XkbLayout"  "de"
        Option      "XkbModel"   "pc105"
        Option      "XkbRules"   "xorg"
        Option      "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection


Maybe some of the other options are working for you...

OK, I have to correct myself. Generally AltGr works in gtk and gtk2 apps. firefox is the only one not eating it. I recently tried to get rid of gnome and now firefox complains about
Code:
nsNativeComponentLoader: GetFactory(libnkgnomevfs.so) Load FAILED with error: /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/components/libnkgnomevfs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

does it depend on it to recognize AltGr? I will try out...

I emerge a new mozilla-firefox-cvs and after that I will reinstall gnome-vfs and its dependencies, lets see...
