[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 214786] Re: Apple USB ISO keyboard has incorrectly swapped keys
I'm affected by this problem as well, but the hid_apple fix didn't work
for me
this is weird, since I'm using the hid_apple.conf already to use the
special keys as default:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
options hid_apple iso_layout=0 fnmode=1
I tried all of the 3 alternatives that have been written here:
http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple/PageFragmentKeyboard
but not even setting it from GRUB is working
I cannot use the xmodmap setting for a different reason, it seems that I'm
affected by this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/289781
the weird thing is that I don't have the evdev module loaded (I guess
that the keyboard driver is supplied through usbhid or something like
that), so for now I'm refraining to set that bug back to confirmed
I also tried to use this file for startup:
cat .config/autostart/xmodmap.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=xmodmap -e keycode 49 = 0x3c 0x3e -e keycode 94 = 0x5c 0x7c
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
Name=remap and \
Comment=
but it doesn't work (it's for the italian layout if you need it)
If I remember correctly, some time ago I also tried to put a script in
/etc/acpi/resume.sh (now probably it should go into /etc/pm/sleep.d/ )
to no avail
and finally, sebastien bacher suggested me to use a gnome-settings-daemon hook:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=2ec0fbd38cd9d787fc3ad003f462c537ea795890
I wrote this small script
#! /usr/bin/env python3
import argparse
from subprocess import check_call as call
from os.path import expanduser
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-t')
parser.add_argument('-i')
parser.add_argument('name')
args = parser.parse_args()
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
if args.t in (added, present) and args.i == 10:
call([xmodmap, expanduser(~/.Xmodmap)])
#EOF
(I also added some error checking when debugging it, and 10 is the XID obtained
from xinput)
and I added it to g-s-d with
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.input-devices
hotplug-command '/path/to/mac_keyboard_fix.py'
but apparently, gnome-settings-daemon receives a device-added signal,
only for device #11(touchpad) and #14(unknown)
(so, this seems to be denying the hypothesis that the problem is due to
the driver loading the keyboard as a completely different keyboard)
right now, I'm not sure why, but when doing a suspend/resume, if I
previously applied the xmodmap, the change retains... but in the
meanwhile I removed the python script, deactivated the .desktop startup
item, and nothing else should be able to change the behaviour after-
resume without also changing it after bootup, so I'm quite baffled
I get fed up by this issue every few months, and I try to find a
workaround that works once and for all (unless something makes the
xmodmap script working, that is)... but now I've spent too much time on
this, I just hope that something/somebody will improve the situation in
the next months

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 214786] Re: Apple USB ISO keyboard has incorrectly swapped keys
Before I speculate on more details about this problem, let me add that pdecat's persistent fix works fine but requires an additional `update- initramfs -u -k all` for the option to be set correctly. I own two Apple aluminium keyboards of different generations (German layout) , one MacBook Air and one old Early-2008 white MacBook. While the laptops seem to work fine for quite some time now, both alu keyboards experienced this issue in different Ubuntu releases; at least one of them always suffers from it up until today. (Count this as confirmed for Quantal.) In the past, I used the xmodmap fix from above, but that didn't work out now because of Bug #1016996. Since I didn't know about pdecat's fix at first, I dived a bit into the shady areas of XKB configuration and found out that XKB offers options called apple:badmap and 'apple:goodmap' targeting the exact same problem. Those are listed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base and `[…]/evdev`, but not in the respective `.lst` and `.xml` files and therefore don't show up in the GNOME keyboard options dialog. When it comes to persisent configuration, I didn't succeed in settings the options via `xorg.conf` as described by [1] and [2]. Running `setxkbmap […]` at session start through `gnome-session-properties` works in principal, but seems to conflict with settings from the GNOME keyboard options. (Only one of them will be set due to what seems to be some kind of race-condition.) What worked for me was running the command via `.profile`, but just then I came across pdecat's much simpler and system-wide approach :-). As there seem to be different generations of Apple keyboards with different behaviours out there, I believe that there won't be a general fix for this problem. What should however be done in my opinion, is offering a simple way to get the right configuration. I think the GNOME keyboard options are the right place to do that, and therefore the apple:badmap option should be added to the `.lst` and `.xml` files like described above. That's why I'm adding xkeyboard-config to the affected packages.
