Hello everyone, hopefully somebody can help me on this.

After upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 yesterday my ABNT2 keyboard layout
stopped working properly. I can't use the accents anymore. I can't write
any character with an accent on top of it: the accent is always placed
before the character. I need the accents to be placed above the
characters, otherwise I can't write any text in Portuguese.

I had the same problem before, when trying to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04.
What I did then was to edit the InputDevice section of xorg.conf, like
this:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option      "XkbRules"  "xorg"
    Option      "XkbModel"  "abnt2"
    Option      "XkbLayout" "br"
    Option      "XkbVariant" "abnt2"
EndSection

But with Ubuntu 8.10 the xorg.conf file alerts that this will no longer
work, as Ubuntu is now using HAL. I did put those lines back on the
file, restarted X and nothing changed. I don't know what commands I have
to run to show some useful information about my configuration.
