try this:
open /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86
search for abnt2 and edit it that the line with AB11 is present as 
shown below.
 
// For brazilian ABNT2 keyboard. by Ricardo Y. Igarashi(iga@that.com.br)
xkb_keycodes "abnt2" {
    include "xfree86(basic)"
    <BKSL> = 94;
    <AC12> = 51;
    <AB11> = 123;
    <KPPT> = 134;
};
