an endless saga... ... but I will make it short...:-) Background This problem affected me with the fink-installed XDarwin package and it is still there with the Apple X11 distribution
Details I have a PowerMac with a "Apple Pro" Keyboard bought in Italy in early 2001. The keyboard has a "qwerty" layout for letters, but a different (referred to the US layout) layout for accented and symbols. I think the right way to say it is that US users have a ANSI layout, while mine is a ISO layout. X11 starts with USA.keymapping, but that forces me to guess or remember the "invisible" layout for accented and other characters (the problem is a bit more paiinful now that OpenOffice is pretty usable, but it's annoying also for xterm). I tried the "italiano.keymapping" present in /System/Library/Keyboards/, but that is the mapping for an old type of italian keyboard (that Apple used untill it switched to the "Pro" series - you can easily recognize it, because you have to press shift to enter numbers that are not in the numeric keypad). The question Where is the "Italiano - Pro" mapping that I can easily select in the International Pref Pane? I want to find it to make X11 start by command line with the appropriate keymap parameter set. In the past months, I only have found on the Internet patches to compile for various languages (not italian) and Linux distributions, but none applied to my situation. Thanks. Ciao.
