           Summary: Alt_R is not a keycode on 105 keyboards
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Hi everyone,   
   
If I configure my keyboard to be a Generic 104 keyboard in KDE, then this  
code(in ~.Xmodmap and then executing xmodmap .Xmodmap):   
   
clear Mod3   
keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch   
add Mod3 = Mode_switch   
   
is executed correctly.    
   
But if I configure it to be a Generic 105(Intl) keyboard, then the same code   
gives that Alt_R has no matching keycode. It seems very unlikely that a key   
present on a 104 keyboard is not present on a 105 keyboard. So... this is a bug   
in that sense. I guess adding a definition for the 105 keyboard should fix it.   
I tried to find the code responsible for this, but I don't understand the   
project structure (and would take time before I do). So, I now hand it over to   
you.    
 
P.S. I guessed the component, since I don't know where xmodmap belongs.  
  
Regards, Ron de Bruijn          

pc105 has AltGr, not Alt.  try ISO_Level3_Switch instead, though this will
affect the modifier state.

though I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, aside from something that
works out of the box if you select pc105 as the model instead of pc104 ...
