Have a problem my altgr key here too (norwegian layout) and have repeatedly 
mailed both this list and mdk-support to try to get help, have gone through 
all documentation I can find, searched the web, went to all the linux irc 
channels I can find, but there doesn't seem to be anyone that is able to 
help, maybe mdk doesn't want norwegian users? ;)

This is a copy of the mail I have been sending around:


Have had some problems the last month with my keyboard layout, experienced 
the same in both mdk 7.2beta3 and mdk 7.2final.

My right alt (altgr) reacts the same way as the left alt, no matter what I 
do...

This is my keyboard section in XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
� � Identifier �"Keyboard1"
� � Driver � � �"Keyboard"
� � Option � � �"AutoRepeat" � �"250 30"
� � Option � � �"XkbRules" � � �"xfree86"
� � Option � � �"XkbModel" � � �"pc105"
� � Option � � �"XkbLayout" � � "no"
EndSection

I also get this error in terminal when using startx:

<snap>
parse error: line 15 of no The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: 
>�Error: � � � � � �Error interpreting include file "no" > � � � � � � � � �

�Exiting > � � � � � � � � � Abandoning symbols file "default" Errors from 
xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server Error loading new keyboard 
description � � � � � � � � � 
</snap>

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it..

I'd really appreciate it if someone could answer this as soons as possible 
(off course only if you have a solution or a way to diagnose this), as 
computing isn't exactly easy when you can't just altgr+number-keys..
