I think that was the reason for many misunderstandings in the past
with that german keycodes.

I own two keyboards - the original one I got with my G4 in summer
2000. The bottom line contains from left to right in the main-block:

<Ctrl> <alt> <apple> <space> <apple> <cursor-keys>

followed left by numbers block.

Then I bought a new one I think in february 2001 which has another design: 

<Ctrl> <alt> <apple> <space> <apple> <alt-gr> <ctrl> 

followed to the left by cursor keys followed left by number-block

The stuff with german keycodes and linux-keycodes as explained on the
list all the time didn't work with my old but only and without
problems with the new keyboard with the both <alt> _and_ <alt-gr> buttons.
