This seems to be a common problem with Apple hardware, they use their own ``holier than thou'' keyboard layouts. We support a few of their deviant layout as ``countrycode.apple'' keymaps. However there is no ``de.apple'' keyboard layout yet. To help creating one, could you send us a description of the keyboard layout (picture or pdf reference), as well as a list of the keys which produce the wrong output _in console mode_ (key label, and output you get). As for the keys not producing any output, an output of `hexdump -C /dev/wskbd' and telling which keys you pressed will do, but you will need to `pkill hexdump' from a remote session afterwards, since ^C will not work. This work will allow us to provide a working `de.apple' console layout. As for X configuration, I'm afraid I don't know what can be done besides using xmodmap to reconfigure the keys. Miod
