bad brasilian layout on external keyboard

Hi,

I recently got an external brasilian usb keyboard. The brasilian layout does not fit entirely the keyboard layout. For example

Keyboard     What I get
|                   }
\                    ]
.                   +

It looks like the problem is with the key board. It does gives twice ]}]} but I cannot get nor \ neeither |

When running:

$ xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'

I found that key code is the same for two distinct key, I get twice 51 when it should be 94 and 51. It really means that the keyboard is bad?
