In X the garbage usually is various non-printable characters. This is all described in the bug report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71136. > I am aware of that problem but not if it is anything else.

Unfortunately, a lot of users prefer having NumLock on, and really don't have a choice with keymaps. > 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. I believe there are some suggestions in the bug report mentioned above. You're welcome to add your input there as well, or I can do it for you if you want. Thanks, Christian
