I am using slackware 10 with xorg and in the Section InputDevice in
xorg.conf I have set these option

Option "XkbLayout" "sv"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"

The last line is to get the alt gr functionality to work on my right alt
button so I can access the @ £ ? $| symbols but it doesnt work at all. There
is no change in output from when I use the alt gr button to when I am not

The funny thing tho is that it works pervectly when I am not in X even if I
am using the same keyboard layout. sv-latin1

Anyone know why?

I have also found some sugestions that the apropriate line should look like
this

Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"

But that is not doing any good either, is there maybe another trick to get
to the third level symbols? I can not imagine this beeing a problem for
everyone using Xorg, there must be a simple solution that I cannot seem to
find.

My keboard is a little bit weired with two windowsbuttons and one "Turbo"
button but since it works in console mode I don't think that is the issue.
