BSDi, since it runs "native", i.e. I don't have to fiddle with setting up
the linux emulator.

If you mean running it under BSDi, seems like the program itself (netscape)
is at fault. I wonder whether the linux version does the same.

keycode  11 = 2 quotedbl 2 at

What does that last line actually do? (i.e. what change is effected by it?)

Aha!

Does this prevent netscape from treating AltGr as Alt?
(none of the other differences do).

Otherwise it looks like I need to fiddle with some of these:
(pasted from the XF86Config manpage)

       XkbRules "rulesfile"
       XkbModel "model"
       XkbLayout "layout"
       XkbVariant "variant"
       XkbOptions "optionlist"

       XkbKeymap "keymap"
       XkbKeycodes "keycodes"
       XkbTypes "types"
       XkbCompat "compat"
       XkbSymbols "symbols"
       XkbGeometry "geometry"

right?
