There are 2 things that we would need to know to be able to give you a
proper keymap:
- the version of the kernel, the new input layer appeared in 2.2.17
(AFAIK) with some guest appearances in the previous ones.
- the version of X, you probably run X4

OK, so if you run a kernel > 2.2.17 and X4, you can use PC keymaps, in
fact you should *avoid* mac keymaps...

I have the default US keymap, on a UK kbd, but that's probably not the
thing you wanted to hear =P

Each key of your keyboard corresponds a keycode, then you will map each
key to an "action", for example: on my kbd, 0x41, the action is
Caps_Lock. X (every version) also tries to grab the configuration from
the console, with some versions doing better than others...

Type "xmodmap -pk | less" to see the current keytable.
