Description Thiago Sayao 2005-09-12 04:44:31 UTC 
My laptop (Acer travelmate 2000) keyboard is an brazilian portuguese abnt2
keyboard. The combination Alt Gr + q should generate a slash and Alt Gr + w
should generate a question mark, but it generates @ and ł respectively.

My configuration is:
Keyboard model: Brazilian ABNT2
layout: Brazil
Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-12 06:16:14 UTC 
Should be "br" xkb map. Please attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-18 19:11:29 UTC 
This looks like a X11 configuration issue. 
  
/etc/X11/xorg.conf: 
[...] 
Section "InputDevice"  
  Driver       "kbd"  
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"  
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"  
  Option       "XkbLayout" "br,br"  
  Option       "XkbModel" "abnt2"  
  Option       "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"  
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"  
  Option       "XkbVariant" "xfree86"  
EndSection  
 
Could you pleaes change this to 
 
Section "InputDevice"  
  Driver       "kbd"  
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"  
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"  
  Option       "XkbLayout" "br"  
  Option       "XkbModel" "abnt2"  
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"  
  Option       "XkbVariant" "xfree86"  
EndSection  
 
Does  this help?
Comment 7 Thiago Sayao 2005-09-19 22:18:25 UTC 
Doesn't help. The configuration is actually correct. SuSe generated the most
correct configuration of all distros i've tried. Here is how to correct the problem:

Edit /etc/X11/xkb/symbols and add those lines:
   key <AD01>  { [         q,          Q,        slash,        slash ] };
   key <AD02>  { [         w,          W,     question,     question ] };

I think this is the correct for the br keyboard. I'm not sure how this affects
other brazilian keyboards, but it shouldn't be a problem since most abtn2
keyboards doesn't have those keys. My keyboard has those because its a laptop.
