Hello,
I have a second Arch running in a virtual machine. Recently I noticed that I can't write some characters like @, {, ~ .. and the like. It seem's that AltGr is somewhat broken.
I know that I had this problem with my normal PC. But the solution is 30kilometers away and buried somewhere unter ~/tmp.. (hopefully)
As far as I know - it was something simple with kbdfont or something like that...
I too have keyboard problems, and commented about it here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9725 The original complaint has to do with VMware, but other users also complain about random keys not working. I have VMware installed, but do not run it on this workstation (the kernel module isn't compiled and neither the network nor the daemons are running). My symptoms are: repeating characters (holding down a letter, or the scroll arrows) don't work, ALT-Fx keys don't work, CTRL-click in seamonkey doesn't work, etc. Rebooting solves the problem for a week or so, then things break again. I even swapped out my old keyboard for a new one, but that didn't solve the problem. -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net
