Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
Hi,
I had issues with the alt-gr key (and with caps-lock that I remapped) inside a kvm that runs a debian virtual console. I stumbled upon debian bug #441068 and tried the patch and that made the key work. It also made console-setup correctly honor "ctrl:nocaps". I attach the debdiff for the diff I used, some of the patch is probably nose (e.g. keymaps/es), if you want, I'm happy to isolate the changes that are really required (but its late now).
Cheers,
Michael

Hi,
I can confirm, Alt-Gr key does not work in German, too. I did not try the patch yet.
The bug occurs in a Linux gueast as well as in Win-XP.
Checking with xev in the Linux guest, you can recognize, there is no event on the key.
