[Bug 76696] Re: alt key doesn't work

2007-01-24 Thread Erik Chakravarty
Resolved, PLEASE CLOSE BUG - no further action to be taken. This problem was due to Alt being mapped by default as the ISO 3rd level character chooser, blocking its use as a normal Alt key - i.e. switching to a VT, using Alt-Tab to switch windows in X, killing X, using Alt+n for menu shortcuts

It's a UK keyboard BTW. I have just noticed that Alt does give me € from Alt-2, as printed on the key which is good. It would be ideal to retain this functionality if xorg.conf needs a different keymap. Other keyboard layout gripes: * Shift_3 should give £ but in fact gives # * The ~` (tilde
