AltGr key does not work
 
Dear All,
after upgrading Debian to Sarge the AltGr key stop working properly. I am using German Keyboard. I can not get |, @, ~ symbols. This only happens in KDE. In Konsole everything works fine. I tried to choose different keyboard layouts in Control Center but it did not help.
I tried
xmodmap -e "keycode 113 = Mode_switch"
but it also did not help
my XF86Config-4:
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105" (I also tried 104)
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
I have this problem on my Notebook.
Thanks a lot in advance
Oleg

I don't use kde nor gnome, i use icewm, well, i installed sarge via cd1 and then dist-upgraded to sarge, i did a 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' after the upgrade, and in the keyboard section, instead of typing 'pc 104' i typed my keyboard model:

Logitech iTouch

and on the next screen:

es

for the spanish keyboard

altgr works perfectly, try that, maybe it'll work for ya.

setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc105 -layout de -option ""
done the job
Where shell I place this command to make X or KDE execute it on startup?

OlegL.many thanks for your info,I had the same problem and it solved it.
About your question,you can write the line in your ~/.bashrc and it will be loaded anytime you start konsole.
