After struggling with X keyboard configurations for a while, I finally found
a way to get access to {, }, [ and ] under X on a FRENCH PowerBook keyboard.
There is a problem with the standard key mappings under X 4.1.0 (I'm running
unstable), you should modify the file:
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh/fr
and just after this line:
name[Group1]= "FR-1";
add:
key <LALT> {
symbols[Group1] = [ Mode_switch, Multi_key ],
virtualMods = AltGr
};
I don't know who maintain this package but as a matter of cleanup, there
should be a section "powerbook" added which includes the "extended"
definition and adds the key above.
Also, here is the proper InputDevice section to put in XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
EndSection
