I had a similar problem when upgrading my iBook G3 from Ubuntu Breezy to
Dapper, with the gb keyboard -- however in my case it was only the top
row of keys that worked, so there was only a limited subset of
punctuation. I also had to use pc105 and also switch KDE from using the
gb layout to the us layout (it remains gb in the xorg config file). (I
even tried using an external keyboard
with the same results). Unfortunately on the Ubuntu lists I didn't get
any answers.
Sorry I can't give more help, but you're not alone.
