    I posted here a question on how to get a ps/2 barcode reader working
    under Xfree 4.3 (I was told that it worked on 4.2). The problem was
    this reader was using the ALT+code to simulate the key. I didn't have
    another reader to check what could be wrong. Now I tryed a new one,
    with all the packages and all docs... The result is that when you get
    your barcode reader you have to scan a barcode that is provided in the
    reader's box to behave like the chosen keyboard. The first reader I
    had was not set to a correct keyboard, that is the problem... If this
    problem come again, ask for theses barcodes and scan the good one ;)
