Hi,
I just tested xkb-data_0.8-10exp1_all.deb from
http://people.debian.org/barbier/tmp/
extracted to ~/XKB and symlinked /usr/share/lib/X11/xkb to it :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/XKB/usr/share/X11/xkb$ ls -l /usr/share/X11/xkb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2006-09-03 20:14 /usr/share/X11/xkb ->

Nice :-) the 3rd shift level comes from the MacOSX mapping, which
appears to be a good choice, and modifiers work OK.
Some remarks, though :
* F13, F14 and F15 are not mapped (NoSymbol)
* Multimedia keys on the keyboard are not mapped (NoSymbol)
* I noticed that both AltGr and Shift+AltGr map to ISO_Level3_Shift.
This is fine for AltGr, but maybe we could map Shift+AltGr to
Mode_Switch to permit a 4th shift level.
Suggestions to fix this keyboard:
-> add an 'applepro' model to the definition of $mac
-> add an 'applepro macintosh(applepro)' to the model<->keycodes
section and the corresponding section in keycodes/macintosh
-> do what is needed in the corresponding layout (maybe a variant) to
get a fully functional keyboard -- best would be to only have these lines
in xorg.conf :
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "applepro"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
I'll file a bug+patch against xkb-data after some cleanup of a working
configuration I have.
For reference, the modifier keys are organized as follows :
.------.-----.-------.--------------.-------.-------.------.
| Ctrl | Alt | Apple | space | Apple | AltGr | Ctrl |
`------^-----^-------^--------------^-------^-------^------'
keycodes 37 64 115 65 116 113 109
name Ctrl_L Alt_L Super_L space Super_R ISO_Level3_Shift Ctrl_R
As a sidenote, modifier keys from a 12' ibook G4 (running OSX) :
.----.------.-------.--------------.-------.----------.
| Fn | Ctrl | Apple | space | Apple | KP_Enter |
`----^------^-------^--------------^-------^----------^
