Well, I should have mentioned this, but I'm using an ADB keyboard, not USB
;). Oh wait a minute, do you mean if I use the keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
= 1 setting in sysctl.conf for console, I have to set the XkbModel to
macintosh, and not macintosh_old? If so, then I'm really confused, cuz all
the docs I've read say use the _old model in XF86Config-4.
