Currently, I am using Gutsy 7.10 (full version). Virtual console grave
and tilde don't work correctly.
So now I install:
console-common
console-data
console-setup
console-tools
As root, I do:
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
with
Keyboard model: Macintosh
The origin of the keyboard: United Kingdom
Keyboard layout: United Kingdom
AltGr key replacement: No AltGr key
Compose key: No compose key
Encoding on the console: UTF-8
Set of characters ... : Combine - Latin; ...
Font for the console: Fixed
Font size: 16
Virtual consoles in use: /dev/tty[1-6]
It generates the output:
* Saving console font and keymap for next boot...

Virtual console grave and tilde is still not working at this stage.
I reboot, but it doesn't help.
Next, as root, I type
install-keymap /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/mac-usb-uk.kmap.gz
If I go to a virtual console, then the the grave and tilde work correctly.
Also, the the key below the Esc key works correctly, too (formerly, it
operated the grave and tilde, which was wrong). The £, $, @ and " keys
all seem to work properly, too, so that keymap is exactly what I'm looking
for.
I reboot again, but the keyboard layout reverts to the old one (i.e.
where the grave and tilde don't work properly).
