Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   macintosh+aliases(azerty)+macintosh(badmap)
types:      complete+numpad(mac)
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc(pc105)+macintosh_vndr/fr+inet(apple)+level3(lwin_switch)
geometry:   macintosh(macintosh)

It works when set from commandline and... it work when using the correct
syntax in xorg.conf:

        Option          "XkbOptions"    "lv3:lwin_switch,apple:badmap"

With that syntax, everything works correctly, thanks.

Btw, maybe "goodmap" "badmap" aren't really good names for those
options. It seems that this should be handled in kernel area, but in the
meanwhile it's not really self-explanatory for user. "If you have a
powerbook or ibook (or macbook ?) from after february 2005, use the
badmap option" ??
