How grody. There should be a keycodes file for the amiga that
translates the scancodes into symbolic names. Then amiga keyboards
could use the symbols files that everyone else uses.
Hmm, in fact, there *is* an amiga keycodes file:
/etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/amiga
...but the file written rather stupidly as far as I can tell. Perhaps
the person who wrote it didn't have a proper understanding of XKB (few
people do).
For example, there is precious little difference between the "usa1" and
"de" keycode delcarations:
-default xkb_keycodes "usa1" {
+xkb_keycodes "de" {
minimum= 8;
maximum= 111;

Silly, silly.
Anyway, the above tells me that the German keyboard has a
"less-than/greater-than" key, which I know is common on European
keyboards. There is also an additional key on the 3rd row from the
bottom in the alphabetic section of the keyboard -- one that U.S.
keyboards don't have.
I'm attaching what I think may be an improved
/etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/amiga file. Note that the sections are now called
"basic" and "euro".
Also attached is a new /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 file that should
recognize the "amiga" as a keyboard model.
Just for grins I also updated /etc/X11/xkb/geometry/amiga to use the new
section names ("basic" and "euro" instead of "usa1" and "de").

Well, if you guys are feeling brave, please try the attached files.
All you should have to do is install them to /etc/X11 and restart the X
server. I suggest backing up the existing versions of the files first.
I don't expect the "amiga" keys to work, nor some of the keys on the
numeric keypads, because Amiga keyboards map scancodes to some symbolic
names for keys that the PC-centric symbols files don't recognize, but
what I have provided should let us know if we're in the ballpark.
