However, in F10 preview, the AltGr key (2nd key right to space) does no longer work with macbook79 german keyboard layout and therefore no characters like |,€,@, ~ can be typed in. Apparently because keycode 104 is mapped mistakenly to KP_Enter. I'have created a ~/.Xmodmap with the following line to fix the problem: keycode 104 = ISO_Level3_Shift This is working, but when logging in, a "Error activating XKB configuration" error dialog box is reported but this seems to be a false alarm.

Here's what I need you to do: please get evtest from http://people.freedesktop.org/~whot/evtest.c, compile it up (gcc -o evtest evtest.c) and run it as "sudo ./evtest /dev/input/eventX" where eventX is the device of your keyboard (/proc/bus/input/devices will tell you). Hit the AltGr key and attach the output to the new bugreport. keycode 104 is defined as KEY_KPENTER in /usr/include/linux/input.h*, so this may actually be a kernel problem. KEY_RIGHTALT (AltGr) should be keycode 108. * X keycodes are kernel keycodes + 8.

I just upgraded to Fedora 10 on my Macbook from Fedora 9. Previously, I never had to select a non-generic keyboard model or non-standard layout. Everything (mostly) worked out of the box, so I never paid much attention to it. Well, once I upgraded, a bunch of things stopped working (including the arrow keys and higher fn+ keys such as delete and home/end, etc.) so I started trying to find some combination of settings that would fix the problem. I finally discovered that: a) Setting "USA Macintosh" at the login screen, AND b) Setting keyboard model to "MacBook/MacBook Pro" in System->Preferences->Hardware->Keyboard->Layouts, AND c) Setting my "selected layouts" default to "USA Macintosh" would actually fix the layout. HOWEVER, I always get the following error on logging in: Error activating XKB configuration.

Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
