Sure is. I'm now running natty and tested it there. Using the mini.iso
to install, I selected Apple, USA Macintosh as my keyboard. There were
no other Apple options listed in the installer. Then upgraded to natty.
System>Preferences>Keyboard however shows a graphic of USA Macintosh to
be the Apple extended keyboard, so I attempted to change it to Keyboard
Model: Macbook/Macbook Pro and got the same error dialog:
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
• a bug in libxklavier library
• a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
• X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10900000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
• The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
• The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
Here's the output:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "mac",
"lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
