Unfortunately setxkbmap resets any extra settings you might have made with xmodmap, and the xkb files are quite difficult to customise compared to using xmodmap. And what is just great is that in Xfree86 4.3 they've broken the finnish keyboard map so that stuff behind AltGr can not be modified with xmodmap at all (to my knowledge). AltGr used to be Mode_switch but in 4.3 it is some ISO_Level3_Shift thing. Well, I can always dump my current xmodmap completely... I have completely remapped my AltGr map to be more coding-friendly as the standard finnish layout is just awful for writing C: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/KBD153.jsp My mappings: <>| second AltGr AltGr+S < AltGr+D | AltGr+F > AltGr+H { AltGr+J } AltGr+I [ AltGr+O ] AltGr+K ( AltGr+L ) AltGr+Ã \ And of course no dead keys (the three accent keys next to enter and backspace or normally dead), caps lock=control, and tilde, the only useful accent, has been replaced to be directly behind its key instead of behind AltGr-key. -- Tuomo
