GDM update
Hey there.
Since the update to the new Gnome and GDM, i am unable to type '@' or any other character that i used to
type using the alt gr key. The old GDM, had a toolbar in the bottom in which i could select keymap, DE, and language
(i think =P), the new one doesn't have one, and i don't know how to fix this. Anyone else had this problem?
My Keyboard is portuguese, if that matters.
Cheers.

Re: GDM update
For some reason the keymap selector is gone, very annoying!
You can work around this bug/feature by setting the keymap in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf like this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection
Make sure to pick the keyboard catchall section.

I'm actually glad gdm finally picks up on that. It didn't in the past.
