Please, don't start with workarounds. Xmodmap is only useful for broken distributions... or if you don't have any root access to your machine ;) Just create a proper xkb/keycodes/amiga , xkb/symbols/amiga/us file. If you already have it then look in your XF86Config, how looks your keyboard section? It should be something like this: #for PowerMacs: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "macintosh" XkbLayout "de" XkbVariant "nodeadkeys" EndSection This requires a proper xkb/rules/xfree86 file. Have a look at the file ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/BETA/xkb_update-2000.03.27-2.ppc.rpm It is mostly for Macs and CHRP/PReP machines, we don't have any Apus machines. The entry above takes the keycode and map it to a temporary symbol (xkb/keycodes/macintosh), then map this temporary symbol to a real key_smbol in xkb/symbols/macintosh/us and finally apply some contry specific "patches" in xkb/symbols/de using the section "nodeadkeys". If you have any trouble, contact me. I plan to clean up all ppc specific keymaps in the next days, hopefully this weekend. Gruss Olaf -- $ man 1 current_release BUGS Users never read manuals...
