Subject: xkb and macintosh
Date: Sun, 4 Jul 2004 17:06:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040704210643.GA5697@havoc.gtf.org> (raw)
My question for you all:
Does anyone use the macintosh keymaps in X(.org|Free86)?
I have a Powerbook running a recent linux kernel (2.6.x series).
I tried to set my keyboard to the intuitively obvious settings:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "powerbook"
Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" ""
And I got some strange results:
+ Pressing Alt+a key gives me accented characters
+ Trying to press Alt-x (for M-x in emacs) from an xterm sent M-8
to emacs.
+ Standard Backspace vs Delete problem.
PPC/linux standardized on 'linux keycodes' that sorta look like
a PC keyboard with the extra keys, so when I set the settings
back to:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
Option "XkbOptions" ""
things work fine. (Though I'm still trying to grok how I can make
my Open Apple key compose those nice accented characters...)
