PowerBook G4, [5,8] > * Mac keyboard (USB or not, country variant) internal keyboard, [DE] I made a picture: http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/keyboard.PBook.g4-5.8.JPG [about 160 KB, and I got an hourly transfer limit of ~4,4 MB .. so you might want being quick if you want to see it .. :)] > * xorg.conf options Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" Option "XkbLayout" "de" # Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:lwin_switch" EndSection Please note the comment at the "XkbVariant" line .. > * success or failure report? I'm not sure: Usually I use my own ~/.xmodmap which is getting loaded when logging into my user X (KDM/KDE) - it's here: http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/xmodmap.g4-5.8.txt The latter is on the brink of being perfect for me. - Except the fact I never could manage even with that file to set some mouse keys with entries (among others) like this in sysctrl.conf - neither on console nor on X: dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 100 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 126 But the latter might be offtopic ... So I don't remember exactly how the keyboard worked without ~/.xmodmap. But the fact I wrote it could be taken as an indication that the ones shipped with the xorg/xkb packages were pretty, errr ..., let's say *inconvenient* for me .. :) Besides: it seems an old annoying issue is still being around here: With your package as, IIRC, with the previous (from about half a year ago or so) xorg/xkb ones 2 keys are swapped here: the key above the TAB key, that is the one with a sign which 'xev' (with my ~/xmodmap loaded) fully rightly sees as a " keycode 94 (keysym 0x5e, asciicircum)" key and the key right of the left Shift key, which again with my ~/.xmodmap loaded is seen by xev correctly as "less" and "greater" [< and >] keys: keycode 49 (keysym 0x3c, less) keycode 49 (keysym 0x3e, greater) The xkbcomp output when (hopefully) .xmodmap is loaded: Please note that Geocities does not seem to accept an .xkb extension when uploading files to my homepage. So I renamed it to a .txt file: $ xkbcomp :0 -o server-0.with.my.xmodmap.loaded.xkb $ mv server-0.with.my.xmodmap.loaded.xkb server-0.with.my.xmod map.loaded.xkb.txt `server-0.with.my.xmodmap.loaded.xkb' -> `server-0.with.my.xmodmap.loaded.xkb.tx t' It's here: <http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/server-0.with.my.xmodmap.loaded.xkb.txt> And here's the one made with the settings as shipped with xkb-data_0.8-8exp1_all.deb (same renaming procedure as above): <http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/server-0.with.xkb-data-settings.loaded.xkb.txt> The latter file should be the result of this: $ setxkbmap -model macintosh -layout de -print | xkbcomp - :0 $ xkbcomp :0 -o server-0.with.xkb-data-settings.loaded.xkb $ mv server-0.with.xkb-data-settings.loaded.xkb server-0.with. xkb-data-settings.loaded.xkb.txt `server-0.with.xkb-data-settings.loaded.xkb' -> `server-0.with.xkb-data-settings .loaded.xkb.txt' $ > * If possible, which console keymap you normally use You mean /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz? I don't remember where I found it, but I'm rather sure it's not the one as provided by Debian. It's here: http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/boottime.kmap.gz More? Please let me know ..
