Hi I also had problems witk Xfree but with a german keyboard. I did the
following. Can you test if it also works for you?
I change my XF86Config-4 to
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105" #<= not macintosh
Option "XkbLayout" "de" #<= fr
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
But you try please fr instead of de. And then I patched a little
the /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86. Make a backup before.
<RALT> = 115; # <= there was a 112 before you may paste here the keycode
of your applekey
// Microsoft keyboard extra keys
// <LWIN> = 115;
// <RWIN> = 116;
// <MENU> = 117;
I get the @ with applekey + q and the € with applekey + e.
If this works for you maybe there is a bug in xlibs.
Thanks chris.
