Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I had automatic login enabled in 9.10 and then upgraded to 10.04. After that
the altgr key does not work (even after trying different keyboard layouts in
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard). I can, however, get it to work in two ways:
1) If I log out and log in again altgr works.
2) If I disable automatic login altgr works.
I have a swedish keyboard (Logitech Ultra-Flat), with the usual Swedish-
Swedish layout (as indicated above I have the same problem with
different layouts)
I'm not sure this is a gdm problem, but that would be my guess.
Attached (xev.txt) is the output in xev when hitting altgr.
If I can provide any further information or be of any help I'd be very
happy.
