Hi Christian: I am somewhat familiar with the problem with the altgr numlock situation in the redhat distributions. I don't use redhat so I'm not aware of the specific problem, or maybe I am. When you say garbage characters do you in fact mean a specific character the '0'? I am aware of that problem but not if it is anything else. This only happens when you have a non-speakup keymap installed and the numlock turned on. I have not been able to determine a way to get around the altgr '0' problem without a fairly major rewrite of the way keys are handled in the 2.4.x kernels. I am of course open to suggestions.
