>Synopsis:	Patch to make the German T3 keyboard layout functional in xenocara
>Category:	system
>Environment:
	System      : OpenBSD 6.8
	Details     : OpenBSD 6.8-stable (GENERIC.MP) #31: Sat Dec 19 09:24:41 CET 2020
			 wime12@neo2.my.domain:/usr/src/sys/arch/arm64/compile/GENERIC.MP

	Architecture: OpenBSD.arm64
	Machine     : arm64
>Description:
	The German T3 international keyboard layout in xenocara is essentially
	non-functional as it contains an invalid definition for the RALT key.
	Neither important symbols like backslash or tilde let alone the
	international symbols are reachable.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Activate the de T3 keyboard layout in X and try to use the "Alt Gr"
	(right ALT) key.
>Fix:
	The wrong RALT definition was corrected some years ago in xorg. A
	discussion related to this bug can be found under this link:

	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60991

	Here is the corresponding patch for xenocara.
