Keyboard handling [Corinna]

Hi Harold,

I've just tried another xmodmap.fr, and discovered something :
at the begining :
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
and at the end :
add Mod1 = Alt_L
add Mod2 = Mode_switch

I've never put those lines before.
If I map Mode_Switch to the Alt-L key, the Alt-L works exactly as I want the
AltGr.
So maybe you just have to treat AltGr key like the Alt-L or any normal key, no ?

But the good new is that with proper xmodmap, Non-US can use their keyboard.
