As you may have read on the previous post my Lenovo 3000 C200 needs a “patch” for its keyboard on X since slash/question/degree key is in an unusual place.
After a little research (grep -r saved my day) I found out that the configuration that used to reside on /etc/X11/xorg.conf is now on /etc/default/console-setup so the same rule for overriding keymaps is still valid. The corresponding configuration for recent distros is something like this:
XKBMODEL="abnt2" XKBLAYOUT="br+lenovo(addslashes)" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS=""
Recent update: If you want further explanation of the X keyboard configurations an excellent guide (and by the way the one I used to figure out this) is “An Unreliable Guide to XKB Configuration” by Doug Palmer (Also available here)

Awesome, however, have you figured out how to fix that on newer ubuntu vers…
Sorry, i have no question marks…lol
tks!
Hi Andre,
No, I had not. Also, as I was short on disk space I had to uninstall Ubuntu at least for the last months. But did they change it again from HAL? I cant believe they changed again… it seems like they have anything against people like us who own notebooks with weird keyboards 😀
regards,
