The following for a PowerBook G4 (5,8). Picture of the keyboard where all this happens: http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/keyboard.PBook.g4-5.8.JPG $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 833.333000MHz revision : 0.5 (pvr 8003 0105) bogomips : 16.57 timebase : 8320000 platform : PowerMac machine : PowerBook5,8 motherboard : PowerBook5,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (PowerBook G4 15") pmac flags : 00000019 L2 cache : 512K unified pmac-generation : NewWorld I didn't install the package. Instead I used again the option of downloading the package, unpacking it and, without installing it, then configure the keyboard with a simple CLI one-liner: $ dpkg -x /home/shorty/downloads/xkb-data_0.8-13_all.deb . $ cd usr/share/X11/xkb/ With setxkbmap -option -rules xorg -model macintosh -layout de -variant nodeadkeys -print | xkbcomp - :0 I have a 2nd <ENTER> key .. (kp-enter) .. I don't find any ~ [ ] { } | @ keys ...

I find the ~ @ \ } { | ] [ chars ... Nice ... but the <> (right side of the <SHIFT> key) and ^° (left of the '1' key) keys are still swapped ... This latter set-up could become my favorite one.
