I recently tried disabling Xkb extension on a Toshiba laptop running Red 
Hat 7.2 because the keyboard input didn't behave very well; a lot of 
"double characters" were returned when they shouldn't, and changing the 
repeat rate didn't help.

The change improved the situation a lot, but there was one problem: This 
machine has a Norwegian keyboard layout, which means that some important 
characters are only accessible by pressing "Alt Gr" (= right Alt key) and 
some other key. While the layout was otherwise correct, the behaviour of 
"Alt-Gr" was not, it would simply act as a normal Alt key (i.e. like the 
left one.)

Is there a way to get the correct "Alt Gr" behaviour, i.e. "Mode_switch" 
in X terms, I believe, without Xkb extension? Alternatively, is there some 
other way than "XkbDisable" to avoid the keyboard problem I am seeing?

Hmmm. I guess I could start messing around with xmodmap, but I really 
think that shouldn't be necessary...
