Hello,

this is how you get the german keyboard running on an iBook2 for usage
with X. I also sent this to users with other keyboards, but I cannot 
remember which country it was. If you need to get the "@" working, this
will be the way to get it. But the keyboard layout is like on PC's, so
the "@" is located on AltGr-q (Applekey-q).


Edit /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86:

change <RALT> to 115 to get the AltGr-Key on the Apple-Key (needed!)
change <DELE> to 108 to use the KeypadEnter as Delete-Key (optional)


Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 according the example below:


Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "LeftAlt"       "Meta"          # needed!
        Option          "RightAlt"      "Meta"          # needed!
        # Option        "ScrollLock"    "Compose"       # not needed
        Option          "RightCtl"      "Control"       
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
                                                                                
        

That's all.

Good luck, 
Claas
