Define a foreign language keyboard in HP-Ux CDE, with the AltGr key?

[Hans Dekker]

Hi,

Using startxwin.bat and xev, gives me the following:

KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 25294468, (167,-13), root:(627,587),
     state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), 
same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 25294531, (167,-13), root:(627,587),
     state 0x90, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), 
same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

and AltGr is working well on this one.

Unfortunately I don't have xev running on the HP-UX box...

Not only CDE has the behaviour of not using AltGr, but another 
X-application I use as well.

Hope it helps.

Regards, Hans.
