I run a Fedora 6 guest on a Win XP host system and access it via Microsoft RDP client. Within Fedora the keyboard "German without dead keys" is installed.
I have no access to all characters which are created with the "AltGr" key (e.g. the '\' or the '@').
It works fine when accessing the virtual machine directly on the host system.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Michael

Re: AltGR key not working with VRDP session
Solution (it worked for me): changed the Compose Key (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey for more information about the Compose Key) to anything other than the Right Alt (AltGr).
To do this in Ubuntu Karmic:
System>>Preferences>>Keyboard>>Layouts>>Options>>Compose key position>> [Choose here the key other than Right Alt (AltGr)]
You should now be able to write Level 3 keyboard symbols.
