Hi,
I am using the standard keyborard of G5 iMacs, as well as a standard PC
keyboard bought in BicCamera.
In the meantime, the keyboard issues are being solved upstream in
freedesktop.org. Here is the relevant link:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8503
One thing which is being worked out is the behaviour of the Yen key.
Currently, it outputs a backslash, for reasons related to old versions
of MS Windows. On modern keyboards, the backslash is also available with
the ろ/_ key, so a new keyboard variant is being introduced, in which
the Yen key outputs a Yen symbol.
PS: I made a test this evening, and it seems that it is not necessary to
declare Variant "jp106" to have the keyboard working correctly. Only
Model "jp106" seems to do the job.
Have a nice day,
