Sorry, the last part should of course read
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The (possibly) relevant part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
# for xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2 this changes to:
# Driver "Keyboard"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

I'll be happy to provide more info if required. Thanks for your time!
The AltGr key on my italian keyboard showed the following behavior: - entering special characters, like the @ sign with AltGr- The AltGr key on my italian keyboard showed the following behavior:
- entering special characters, like the @ sign with AltGr-ò, works ok but beeps;
- hitting C-h c AltGr-ò ("describe-key-briefly" macro) will tell you that "<key-3> is undefined".
It looks like a known xorg bug. See for example:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2004-10/msg00151.html
http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1625
I added the patch suggested by lists.gnu.org to

The AltGr key works fine now.
Thanks for the pointer to the patch. I added it to CVS as emacs-21.3-r5.ebuild. Please run `emerge --sync` and test if it works or not. Yes, that solved it for me. The AltGr key works as expected now, i.e., with xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 and emacs-21.3-r5. Thank you very much, Sergio, for tracking down the problem, and Mamoru, for providing the revised ebuild! Yes, xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 and emacs-21.3-r5 work for me too. Thanks ;-) |
