On my macbook I've my "\" and "<" keys swapped. This issue could be resolved in older xorg-server using the "apple:badmap" XkbOption, but now (xorg-server-1.5.3-r5) adding <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="strlist">apple:badmap</merge> to my 10-x11-input.fdi file has no effects. I'm pretty sure that in an older 1.5.3-r* the option worked fine, but I don't remember the precise version. /var/log/Xorg.0.log report: (**) Option "xkb_options" "apple:badmap" and nothing else. P.S. sorry for the previous wrong section post... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. install gentoo on a macbook (italian keyboard) 1. update to xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 2. edit your input fdi file 3. see how it's hard to have "\" and "<" inverted... My macbook has an italian layout keyboard.
Start with reading the sticky at the forums and posting there. But changing type from "strlist" to "string" may be enough.
