Works here out of the box on Debian stable.
Since I do not run dwm, I did the following:
$ /bin/su -
# apt-get install dwm
# adduser dwm # password .. enter .. enter
# cd /home/dwm
# echo 'exec dwm' > .xinitrc
# chown dwm.dwm .xinitrc
# exit
CTRL+ALT+F2 # switch to console
login as dwm
$ startx
ALT+SHIFT+Enter # start an xterm
$ setxkbmap de # with dead keys
$ setxkbmap de -variant nodeadkeys # w/o dead keys
AltGr+7 -> {
AltGr+8 -> [ # etc..
Since I installed stable only a couple of weeks ago, I think that rather
than dwm, it's something in your setup that's causing the problem.
You could try the above and see what happens with a virgin test user.
Here's the keyboard stanza in my xorg.conf:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
EndSection
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically similar to yours..
My (wild) guess is that your AltGr/AltGr key is mapped to Mod1 instead
of Mod3 but I could be wrong about that.
What does xmodmap (with no flags) output? Does it have both Alt_L and
Alt_R mapped to Mod1?
Just to eliminate any keyboard peculiarities, did you try to plug in
an external keyboard?
