This is what I changed before: In Gnome: Opening Applications ---> System Tools ---> Configuration Editor Changed in desktop --> gnome --> peripherals --> keyboard --> xkb this entry model acpi to that one model macintosh Seems we can close this issue.

But IIRC I had ugly problems here sometimes related to the keyboard, whose details I can't remember exactly right now. But I think the keyboard at times only printed capitals ... I think this happened on console *and* xterm-like apps .... not quite sure. I'll wait and see whether this issue is history now .... Anyway: Thanks, Denis, for your help to solve this issue. And to everyone else contributing to this thread. It definitely helped, as it seems ... :) Best Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer gpg ID: 0AA7E825 Profile, links: http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer
