How can I fix it?

I know there was another thread concerning this topic a while ago but I was not able to find it today so I started a new threat.

It s a hd-install (an older one, I think 1.0 or something like thiis)

what do you mean with de.

Do you mean the keymap

I ve the loadkeys-de-nodeadkeys...

Everything's fine but the "@" which is produced by pressing the "Alt Gr" + "Q" Buttons at the same time does NOT work

make the following .Xmodmap file
remove mod4 = Mode_switch
add mod5 = Mode_switch

and then run xmodmap .Xmodmap

But it doesn't work with XFree86. There was a post on how to make it work also on XFree86.
