Hi,

Indeed your solution seems better.
If I remember well, I selected manually the mac keyboard.
I'll try this evening to reconfigure with the pc model
Thanks

In my opinion, one solution is to move all mac specific layouts to the
respective pc file.  Then we can get rid of the files in macintosh_vndr.
I don't see a problem if we allow mac users to use non-mac layouts and
pc users to use mac layouts.

By the way, did you select Mac keyboard model manually?  As far as I can
remember, by default, keyboard-configuration (hence the installer too)
use pc keyboard model on Macs (and not macintosh, ibook, powerbook,
macbook78 or macbook79).

Are there some problems if you reconfigure keyboard-configuration to use
pc keyboard model?  In this case there will be no need to copy the altgr
part of the pc keyboard to the macintosh one.
