Bug Description
I have a Lenovo 3000 v100 laptop, with a ABNT2 keyboard layout. It should use, as per the manufacter's instructions, use a thinkpad variant, so that all keys are available. In Hardy, there was such a variant selectable through the Gnome GUI, but now in jaunty and karmic there isn't. The slash-question key is interpreted as a right Ctrl key, which is non-existent in this variant.
A workaround is available as follows:
1- Open the gconf-editor application;
2- Search for key 'kbd', and look for /desktop/
3- In the key "layouts", there should be the value "br", change it to "br thinkpad".
The whitespace in step 3 is a tab, not several spaces.
