alt-gr not working anymore

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core

With today's update of xserver-xorg-core (and keyboard-configuration & console-setup), the right "Alt-Gr" modifier won't work anymore. I need this key to type an "at" symbol. Pressing alt-gr and q on the keyboard only results in a "q" instead of an "at" sign (which I cannot type here, grrrr).

$ dpkg -l console-setup keyboard-configuration xserver-xorg-core

sudo apt-get install console-data

and selecting the proper keymap from "full list" worked wonders...
I didn't know that the console settings would also affect X11!

I think this was just a transitional thing during natty development. Glad you sorted out how to get it working again.
