You have to tell X where to find the Alt-Gr key. To do this, first launch the "xev" program under X, which will tell you the keycode for each key you press. Write down the keycode that pops-up when you press Alt-Gr, and quit. Then, try to map the Alt-Gr "function" to the keycode you obtained, by doing: $ xmodmap -e keycode = Mode_switch Try using Alt-Gr. If it works, create a .xmodmaprc file in your $HOME, containing "keycode = Mode_switch" and call it from your .xinitrc or .xsession by adding "xmodmap .xmodmaprc". That's it! -- mike dentifrice
