Hmm - that doesn't happen for me. They have different codes. 130 and 135
to be precise.

Do you happen to have those mapped to the same symbol on your linux 
console ?

Confirmed. Same here.

Marcus - how does the keymapping of xggi work again ? Could you give me
a quick reminder ? IIRC it goes incoming "label"->pseudo-keycode->
normal X mechanisms - right ?

In that case we'll have to add "^" aka 0x5e to the table, as on a german
keyboard the key he's talking about contains ^ and that little superscript
circle some languages use as accent or standalong as "degree" symbol.

That would mean we'd need "|" as well - right ?

Same here. wait ... that one produces 0x1c for me.

Same for me. That is probably related to the fact, that one usually doesn't
map them in the linux console keymaps.

CU, Andy

P.S.: Marcus - I attach an updated .de_de keymap that corrects two slight
glitches. You'll probably want to include them in 1.6.1.
