I read this list archive backwards and there are a lot of posts about
the german keymap under X using the Linux_Keycodes.
I found the messages from Florent Pillet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who
said that is something missing in the xkb file for french users.
Namely this:
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh/fr
and just after this line:
name[Group1]= "FR-1";
add:
key <LALT> {
symbols[Group1] = [ Mode_switch, Multi_key ],
virtualMods = AltGr
};
I've done this for my german file de, and the alt key worked as wanted.
Don't CC me, I am subscribed.
