I only know here in Brazil some people (mainly on servers) use
US keyboards, most ABNT2, and probably a very few ABNT as I
don't see any on the stores...
Doing a search on Google I found the only difference is that
ABNT doesn't have the "Alt Gr" key, but I don't know if the
information is correct.
I've been using ABNT2 since 1997 on Linux and never configured
it as pt. xf86config from XFree86 >=4.0 always configured it as
br / abnt2, and doesn't do any autodetection.
So, the question remains: what to use for the "old" ABNT.
