- You could buy one of the keyboards listed in the release notes as compatible.
- Also you could reinstall Coherent without virtual consoles using the
- not loadable german keyboard driver, which works better then the loadable
- one. However, the ALT GR key doesn't work with my keyboard, but MWC is
- working on that.
