Thank you all for the feedback!
I finally got my keyboard to work (almost) properly.
I had also looked at www.linux-france.org/macintosh/clavier_rpm*.html but
that did not help immediately. My Keyboard InputDevice looked exactly like
this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mac Keyboard"
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Xkbtypes" "default"
Option "XkbCompat" "default"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbSymbol" "macintosh/fr_new"
Option "XkbGeometry" "macintosh"
EndSection
and with this, my keyboard was completely screwed up.
However, everything works just fine by adding this option:
Option "XkbKeycodes" "macintosh"
But I don't know why!
BTW, I still cannot switch back to console mode. CTRL+ALT+Fi
does not give anything.
