AltCar key doesn't work under X

Hi,

I'm running 8.1. The keyboard worked fine at first (I "think"!), but now, 
for some reason and without my having done anything special, the AltCar key 
just won't work under X - it works fine if I switch to a shell, though not 
to an xterm.

As a result, I can't produce characters such as 'commercial at', curly 
brackets, square brackets, tilde or a number of accented characters - 
definitely a nuisance.

I remember going round such a problem by reconfiguring keys (using 
xkeycaps, if I recall), but that feels like a kludge and I'd much rather 
fix it properly (besides, one of the things I loved about Mandrake - coming 
from Red Hat - was that they got my keyboard right).

Can somebody think of something?

Thanks.
