Subject: Keyboard problems (cont.)
Thanks, but:
It's only in Amaya that Alt-Gr doesn't have any effect. Otherwise it
works fine. Amaya seems to switch it off.
My xmodmap -pk says:
.....
111 0xff61 (Print) 0xff62 (Execute)
112 0xffaf (KP_Divide)
113 0xff7e (Mode_switch) 0xff20 (Multi_key)
114
.....
My modmap says:
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3 Mode_switch (0x71)
mod4
mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)

BTW: The same problem is in Windows 98. Something to do with danish keyboard
configuration?

>Sorry to disturb, but I simply can't get Alt-Gr characters
>(e.g. $, @) as described by your doc, neither on Windows
