Hello,

I've posted about this problem some time ago, and got a RTFM like  
remark so I started research again but with no result until today.

The fink docs don't tell anything about my problem, or if so, I  
didn't find the proper information

I can't get my ibook's keyboard to work properly under X11 (using  
x.org at the moment).
For example The Number 0 can only be entered via fn-M and I haven't  
been able to find an @-Character yet. But the bad thing is that  
keyboard shotrtcuts like Cmd-N don't work at all

Some time ago I found a link explaining the keymapping mechanism and  
loading keymappings from file that I can't find anymore. I think I'm  
using a different google search pattern today.
AFAIR the text mentioned that there are special problems with the  
keyboards Apple's Notebooks one can resolve by loading the proper  
keymap from a file. I tried to do so (Deutsch.keymapping) but no change.

I've checked the keyboard settings in KDE, but the seem to be  
correct. Trying other settings also didn't help so I reverted to the  
default.

My system:
-iBook G4 12"
- Mac OS X 10.4.8
- Package manager version: 0.25.0
- Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync powerpc

- i   xorg             6.8.2-1041   Free X11 implementation
- i   xorg-shlibs      6.8.2-1041   Free X11 implementation

- i   kdebase3         3.5.4-1022   KDE - base system
- i   kde-i18n-german  3.5.4-1021   KDE - language files for German

I hope there is a way to get around this other than hooking up an  
ugly PCs USB keyboard to my ibook :-)

Can anyone walk through this issue with me? If there's more  
information needed I'll happily provide it...

Thanks in advance, Markus
