Hi,

I have an anoying problem. My atl gr key often doesnt work. Since I have an azerty lay-out, I often need this key (fi for typing @).

I tested it with xev and got the following output (first one is for a key that does work, fi alt_l and second output for the alt gr key to show the difference)

alt_l
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x66, subw 0x0, time 1411517, (-111,434), root570,459),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x66, subw 0x0, time 1411623, (-111,434), root570,459),
state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False


alt gr

KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x66, subw 0x0, time 1365331, (-584,251), root97,276),
state 0x0, keycode 156 (keysym 0x1008ff41, XF86Launch1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x66, subw 0x0, time 1365481, (-584,251), root97,276),
state 0x0, keycode 156 (keysym 0x1008ff41, XF86Launch1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Can anyone do something with this information to help me to solve this problem please?

Well, the above shows that the key has been set to the XF86Launch1 keysym. Do you perhaps have an automatic xmodmap command or something defined somewhere?

Hmmm,

I'm not familiar with the commands of linux, only use the ui. I've installed kubuntu 9.10 from fresh so I don't know whether there is an automatic xmodmap.
Could you please explain further?
