Incorrect keyboard mapping - notebook

Hi,

when I press "\" key on my keyboard I see on screen "<" and when I press the same key with shift it should show "|" but I get ">"

Only that one key report the wrong character, when I press "<" or ">" key I get "<" ">" so it's ok.
I tried to change configuration of rc.conf file but  I still get wrong character.

I especially need the "|" to work as you can imagine.
Any ideas what should I change ??

Thanks

Re: Incorrect keyboard mapping - notebook

have you set the correct keyboardlayouts in the keyboad section in xorg.conf?
did you build the needed locales during arch installation?

here is mine

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Keyboard0"
        Driver  "kbd"
        Option  "CoreKeyboard"
        Option  "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option  "XkbModel" "pc102"
        Option  "XkbLayout"   "de,no"
        Option  "XkbOptions"  "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

Re: Incorrect keyboard mapping - notebook

configuration of xorg.conf is  correct

I have change keyboard mapping in  /usr/share/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree and /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/

This fixed the problem
