altGR key problem with windows XP

[alain perrier]

Harold,

Thank for your answer, I will try to contact Andreas. In very few case, 
I get the pipe symbol or other and I think this is a key timing problem 
like reported by Andreas, but perhaps this trouble is due to some 
keyboard or system.  I will try at my office on another XP machine... I 
use cygwin at home and at work, it's very important for me and I'll keep 
you informed trying to do a usefull report...

XF86 documentation:
I found some informations on XF86Config and xmodmap for non US keyboard 
on the following link:
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/?jump=xfree

Perhaps you could ask the author to add this link in Xfree86 faq as a 
first help for non US keyboard users.
