Hi,
First of all, the alt-gr is not a part of unconventional layout, it's just americans
don't need it.
I was looking for a solution to this problem for some time, it happened that alt-gr
is using a scancode that is a combination of ctrl and alt, in fact it produces the
same efects to push ctrl+alt. I read some views it's ran by the keyboard processor.
So it seems impossible to do anything by software edition. Happily, R-alt functions
exactly as alt-gr in windows XP.
Then a way to change your alt-gr mapping is to remap the key you'd like to use as
an R-alt key. You could use the freeware: sharpkeys: http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/
Though you will have 2 alt keys on the right side of your keyboard, it still solves
the Toshiba ergonomy problem.
It looks so simple, but I haven't seen this problem resolved anywhere...
Have fun,
