i'm aware of the fact, that in the apple x11 one can change the usa.keymapping to another one as some peple have posted doing so successfully... now where exactly should I do so? I couldn't find this anywhere...
sorry if this has been answered before..
thanks

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.
Marcello.
