Description of problem: I have Dell Latitude D630 hardware with Swedish keyboard. The keyboard has a key in a left lower corner with three symbols: <, >, and |. Unfortunately, pressing Alt-that-key does not produce '|'. The problem is fixed by adding one line to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xkeyboard-config-1.4-6.fc10.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press Alt-< Actual results: Nothing is produced. Expected results: '|' character should appear. Additional info: I have worked around the problem by adding following line to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se xkb_symbols "se" { ... + key <LSGT> { [ less, greater, bar, bar ] }; include "kpdl(comma)" include "level3(ralt_switch)" }; I am not sure whether this is the best solution but it works for me.
