Symptom:

After an update to SuSE 7.1 all key combinations with the ALT GR-key doesn´t work.

Solution:

Rename the directory:


/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb

in


/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.old

with the command


mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.old

Check with


ls -l /etc/X11

if the directory xkb is available. If the directory is available create a link to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb with


ln -s /etc/X11/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb

The ALT GR should now work again.
