I see.

How would I do this? At the moment, the keyboard section of my
XF86Config-4 looks like this:

-- snip

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "macintosh"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "macintosh/de"
EndSection

-- snip

Just changing XkbModel to "macintosh" doesn't seem to do the trick. I'd
really rather not upgrade X at the moment.

I'll look into this, thanks. I just wanted it somewhere quick and
/etc/init.d/gpm was the first place that came to mind.

Best regards,
