AltGr key (and others) do not work, pc105/german kbd


Hi,

I have problems with getting the following keys working:
(PC105 keyboard, german)

- left windows key (0x73)
- right alt (0x71, AltGr)
- right windows key (0x74)
- right menu key (0x75)

"xev" shows no reaction when I press one of those !?

Host system is Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195],
xorg-x11 6.8.2.0-4.

Here some output from starting X:
------------
(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000407" (00000407)
(--) Using preset keyboard for "German (Germany)" (407), type "4"
Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "de" Variant = "(null)"
Options="(null)"
------------
...which looks ok for me.

There are tons of descriptions and FAQs on the web that fiddle
around with "xmodmap", but as I don't get any events from X11
for those keys, I assume that there simply isn't anything that
I could "re-map" !?

Any ideas, what can I do ?

Thomas
