Hi All,
i've been struggling for a few days tying to have my keyboard mapped
correctly on my PowerBook Alu G4.
I'm running debian sid with kernel 2.6.10 and KDE 3.3.2.
After looking on the web i found some info ( mostly the files located at
http://www.linux-france.org/ftp/macintosh/kbd-mac-fr.tar.gz ).
I've applied these recepies but with no success. The keyboard is mostly
ok but i'm missing some important keys:
{|}~[] the Euro sign and possibly more.
My XF86Config-4 section for the keyboard is as follows:
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr_new"
with fr_new installed from the package found above.
Has anyone got a fully functional keyboard with a configuration like
mine ?
Any hint would be greatly appreciated !
Regards.
Not, it is a known problem of french (or generally non-US) pmac keyboards
nobody has fixed the right way, and the fr_new only halfway fixes the issues
(i can't alt+tab switch windows in metacity anymore for example).
