There is a problem with the new Mandrake 8 when you select an install with a 
latin-american keyboard layout. The AltGr key (the right side Alt) + <another 
key> doesn't work. For example, you can't type the @ symbol (AltGr + q).

The installer puts a Xmodmap file in /etc/X11/xinit for the latin-american 
keyboard layout, but by default it's not parsed. Looking around I found that 
changing the following line in /etc/sysconfig/i18n correct the problem:

in /etc/sysconfig/i18n:
XKB_IN_USE=no

to

XKB_IN_USE=yes

With this, the script /etc/X11/xinit/fixkeyboard parse the Xmodmap file, and 
the keyboard works perfectly.
