This is the xev output when pressing top left key (labeled as §)
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0x69, subw 0x0, time 238273110, (517,372), root:(529,477),
state 0x4000, keycode 49 (keysym 0x3c, less), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
XFilterEvent returns: False
Then, if you look at file /usr/share/X11/xkb/macintosh you find
something mysterious:
default xkb_keycodes "macintosh" {
include "xfree86"
<FK13> = 182;
<FK14> = 183;
<FK15> = 184;
<KPEQ> = 157;
};
xkb_keycodes "badmap" {
<TLDE> = 94;
<LSGT> = 49;
};
xkb_keycodes "goodmap" {
<TLDE> = 49;
<LSGT> = 94;
};
Looks like "goodmap" has Tilde mapped right. However, if you look at
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules
$macbooks = macintosh+macintosh(badmap)
You find that Macbooks are mapped with "badmap".
Then I found this blog post:
http://simon.vanderlinden.eu.org/2007/02/26/macbook-keyboard-now-works-
perfectly-with-xorg/
Looks like the problem would be one line change, but it is not patched
to the distribution yet.
