I've been searching for quite a while now, browsing forums, posting on IRC. Nothing have helped so far. I have a Swedish keyboard (guess why =P) on a laptop (IBM R40) dual booting with WinXP/Gentoo. I'm running KDE 3.5 as my desktop environment with x.org.
My problem is that I cannot get the Alt Gr-key to work, so I have for example big problems with typing e-mail addresses and using the tilde-symbol. All this works outside X though. Thank you for any help that you can provide. =)
