Backslash and pipe keys display < and > instead on mainly Asus brand laptops

[wonder1and]

Problem:

When typing either "|" or "\" (Pipe or backslash) on an Asus laptop keyboard the system instead inputs "<" or ">".

Resolution:

In terminal type the following: xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = backslash bar"

The key will now properly display | and \ when pressed.

I got similiar problem on a BT5, running under Hyper-V, using german keyboard.

I cant get the "|" to show up on any key.
