I must admit I'm not an expert in keycodes, but anyway, what I wrote works! ;-) Examining your proposition, it seems you can either use macintosh and macintosh/xx or macintosh_old and xx, respectively for XkbModel and XkbLayout. But you can't use macintosh_old and macintosh/xx it seems, as you reported. Setting the XkbModel to macintosh for linux keycodes doesn't give exactly the same result as pc105, so i prefer pc105. And anyway, i guess Stew tries to keep ppc files near to x86 ones, and pc105 is used on x86. I'll update the guide to avoid the change for XkbLayout (by setting XkbModel to macintosh_old), if no objection. Thanks for your comments! -- Sylvain OBEGI Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 661913
