[Bug 486755] New: buggy keyboard maps for Macintosh
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486755 Summary: buggy keyboard maps for Macintosh Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: BastisEmail@yahoo.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1 Firefox/3.0.6 This is a hopeful attempt to get useful keyboard layouts in the subsequent versions. We use a MacPro (2008 edition) with Apple's standard USB keyboard. On Ubuntu 8.10 everything works fine: o APPLE keys emulate ALT o deadgraveacute is automatically set for letters like '´e' (here it is not working as you can see) o € and @ are at the right places. o multimedia keys like volume up/down, brightness up/down and importantly EJECT CD work! On OpenSuse 11.0 I configured Sax2 as "Macintosh" keyboard, "German", "deadgraveacute" o APPLE keys emulate ALT o € and @ are possible, but with the ALT keys (not with APPLE) o "<" and "^" are exchanged! o multimedia keys are NOT working On OpenSuse 11.1 it got worse: o ALT remains ALT o no € possible o "^" and "<" exchanged o multimedia keys NOT working When changing to "generic 105 keys (intl).", "German", "deadgraveacute" I was at least able to reenable "€" and "@" In the end my keyboard is neither PC, not Apple. It would be great if openSuse 11.2 at least supports pure PC or pure APPLE modes. Maybe you can "borrow" some knowledge from Ubuntu which is working great on Mac?

(Information on how ubuntu configured X for you might be helpful, but probably isn't necessary.)
Actually the output of 'setxkbmap -print' on Ubuntu would be *very* helpful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For me, this is the best solution so far. Still I have 2 issues with it: (1) The ^°/<> keys are wrong
Rudi, same for you? Any hints? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please note: I do not use a MacBookPro I use a MacPro and a recent iMac with an external aluminium USB keyboard (model number A1243)
