Arch Linux

Description:

When using the br-abtn2 (portuguese) keyboard layout (which can be loaded with `loadkeys br-abnt2`) on TTY on notebooks from the Arch ISO, to perform a new installation of Arch, two keys in particular do not work out-of-the-box (but they should):

/ (slash), which can be pressed with Alt Gr + Q
? (question mark), which can be pressed with Alt Gr + W

This is a problem on notebooks because they usually do not have a separate key with these symbols; the only form of entering them is with Alt Gr.

Also, it is not easy to perform a proper installation of Arch without /, because we need it to create the /mnt mountpoint, for example.

I've also noticed this bug remains after doing a proper installation, then rebooting on Arch. Although, these keys *do* work okay with X (with `setxkbmap br`), the only problem is on a virtual console / TTY.

There is an easy fix, though, which was suggested on the Arch Linux BR Forums (see the following topic: http://forum.archlinux-br.org/viewtopic.php?pid=19765#p19765). I've tested it and I can confirm it *works* okay!

1 - gunzip the br-abnt2 map file (located on /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/br-abnt2.map.gz)
2 - add the following two lines to its end:

altgr keycode 16 = slash
altgr keycode 17 = question

3 - gzip again the file

Now, after issuing `loadkeys br-abnt2` again, the two symbols will properly work.

Additional info:
* package version(s): kbd 2.0.1-1
* config and/or log files etc:

This is the map file *before* the addition of the lines: http://pastebin.com/dR9nP5DD
This is the map file *after* the addition of the lines: http://pastebin.com/39cRrXyx


Steps to reproduce:
1 - Boot into an Arch ISO (for example, the one from January);
2 - Load the portuguese keymap (loadkeys br-abnt2)
3 - Try to insert a slash or a question mark from a notebook keyboard. You won't succeed.


Additional note: these keys do not work on the br-abnt layout also, but I'm not sure if we should change it (the br-abnt2 layout is more complete).
