More information: When doing showkey, the apple key is reported as 125, as it was before. However, using 'xev', it is shown as '115'. keycode 115 = Alt_R clear Mod1 add Mod1 = Alt_R in /etc/X11/Xmodmap seems to fix the problem, and I don't know enough about the whole xkb system to get more information. It doesn't seem to be very well documented either. For instance, I see 115 mentioned in /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/macintosh, but where do the 'descriptions' come from? What do they mean? This is wandering from the original report, but some sort of reference in the file as to what the heck it is would be good style. -- David N.
