AltGr works with only one key

["Blake Thomas Andrew" <blakethomasandrew at gmail dot com>]

Hi

I can't do |@\{}[] in X (they all need the AltGr key), but I can do #
perfectly, with the AltGr key. (It's the 3 key with AltGr)

I have a Toshiba laptop running Vista. I used to have a Toshiba with
XP and Cygwin X and never had this problem.

The non-X bash terminal window works fine.

Here's a sequence from xev where I press down the AltGr key, then
press and release the 1 key, then press and release the 2 key, then
press and release the 3 key and then release the AltGr key:

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
