I've upgraded to -54 and it did issue the warning. After removing the
-xf86config option from startxwin.bat, my xmodmap settings from my initial
post work nevertheless, i.e. AltGr works also under Solaris 2.6. :-)

Doesn't matter.  The code for parsing XF86Config files is no longer 
present in the executable.  It was just a mistake that an error is not 
raised when the -xf86config option is used when XF86Config support has 
not been compiled in.


Odd. However, I'm getting suspicious that I was (am?) not using -51 after
all because it did make a difference if the RightAlt Option wasn't set.
I'll double check and report again.

Hm. 4.3.0-51 does not read XF86Config. So this seems to be not needed.

Hm. 4.3.0-51 does not read XF86Config. So this seems to be not needed.
