hi,
i've copied the symbols file from one dir up (/etc/X11/xkb/symbols) to
the macintosh/ dir (/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh). this works fine for
my keyboard, which is one of those old ADB "apple design" keyboards,
with a CSA layout, except that one of the command keys is mapped to
Meta_L, when i have two on this keyboard, which could be mapped to
Meta_L and Meta_R, but aren't.
i use xmodmap (*sigh*) to get the proper accent mappings (not perfect,
but works), etc. all except that damned right command key acts as a left
command key.
i believe this is a simple thing to fix, as it's one key, but xkb is
strange to me, and have tried on several occasions to figure it out, but
haven't been able to do so.
i'm willing to provide the physical layout of the keys if need be
(posted via text or image medium at a fetchable URL).
cheers,
simon
