There are several cases related to this bug (ie for instance http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/11/27/153 ) Your | key should be the same as the "*" key on french keyboards. I submitted a bug report dealing with the details of this problem, but still no answer yet. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1637 The patch provided by Tonnerre Anklin should work (I wouldn't have changed the two values, just 84 -> 43) but it may break some other keyboards. This is one question asked in the bug report. And the other is : why did it work with 2.4.x kernels ?
