I'm no expert at this, so my solution isn't any better than yours, it just avoids editing files that are part of the xfree86 packages. I just fiddled around a bit and made myself an xkb file (attached) which I then load in at the start of an xsession, xkbcomp -R/etc/X11/xkb /path/to/ibook_gb.xkb $DISPLAY The attached file makes a keymap for the UK iBook keyboard, my choices are little different to yours, I use the extra enter key for right alt instead. It works for me, I make no other claims :) (My only difficulty is that I've been unable to make fn+Apple, which I decided to use for Compose, generate a different code than the 'Eject' F12 key, so I can either compose accented characters, or eject my CD, but not both :) However, it seems possible that using my example you could create a keymap that doesn't need editing in /etc. The docs on this stuff are so thin it's painful. -- Edd
