Alt Gr key beeps!


Hi,

I still have a small but annoying problem with the Alt Gr key. When using emacs on Solaris 8,
every hit on the Alt Gr key produces also a beep sound. Otherwise it works ok.
Funny enough, the beep comes only on Solaris 8, but not with any Linux box.

I'm using XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50, and using -xkblayout option and -xkbvariant nodeadkeys.

If it helps anything, the describe-key command on Solaris emacs for the Alt Gr key says:
   <key-3> is undefined
(and it doesn't beep then!).


The Solaris 'xev' output of pressing the Alt Gr key is below:

KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 33292101, (-490,220), root:(599,243),
    state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 33292201, (-490,220), root:(599,243),
    state 0x80, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

Any suggestions? Anything to do with OpenSSH 3.8 configuration?

Thanks,
Tuli
