I had some trouble to get my Swedish keyboard to work with the altGr-button in X11. I finely solved the issue and just wanted to share my solution. created the dir and file: cd /etc/X11; mkdir xorg.conf.d cd xorg.conf.d; >30-keyboard.conf edit the file and put the following in it: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "se" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" EndSection thanks fore an awesome dist. <3
