 If you wouldn't have left #debianppc so quickly again you would have
received responses along the line suggesting using XkbModel pc10x
instead of macintosh. The very same always worked for me without any
problems. I know that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does also speak of
that macintosh model, but like said, never had any troubles using pc10x
(pc105 in my case, German layout - you propably would like to use pc104
instead).
