    This is a big problem on most (all?) Apple laptops, because they have ADB

    can find some fairly kludgey kernel patches that provide partial
    workarounds.
    
    In any case, if you want to change your keyboard map it it quite simple
    with xmodmap or xkb.  Read the man pages.
    
Or you can stick in a regular PC USB keyboard, AFAIK. Though I like the
feel of the apple keyboards, they are nice to type at after I got used
to them.
