bug#22617: 24.4; AltGr not working after Xmodmap

[Christoph-Simon Senjak]

  I have the following .Xmodmap:

     keycode 135 = Alt_L
     keycode 167 = Page_Down
     keycode 166 = Page_Up
     remove mod4 = Super_L
     add    mod5 = Super_L

  Otherwise, my keymap is

     de nodeadkeys compose:caps

  Since the .Xmodmap, I cannot type in stuff that requires AltGr anymore 
(even
  though I did not even remap it). Even with the new mod5 key it doesn't
  work. (For example, AltGr+q is (at), and AltGr+7,8,9,0 are braces.

  In all other applications (including emacs -nw), it works well.

  Best Regards,
  Christoph-Simon Senjak

(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately not gotten
any responses.)

Are you still seeing this problem?  There doesn't seem to be anything
particular in your .Xmodmap that references AltGr...  unless your
Mode_switch was on mod5, and this made something confused.

What's the output from "xmodmap" (without any parameters)?

More information was requested, but none was given within 24 weeks, so I'm
closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this
email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the
bug report.
