Bug 42874 – On PowerBook G4 1Ghz combo (latest) the azerty keyboard (ppc/mac-be) maps to other keys

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE

[Description Jochen Maes (RETIRED) 2004-02-25 05:36:04 UTC]

If i use the mac-be keymap, my keys are completely screwed :p
the space is a shiftkey, my a key is assinged to y etc...

I will try to write a g4-special keymap for this

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.edit rc.conf
2.set keymap to mac-be
3.restart /etc/init.d/keymaps

Actual Results:  
my keys were all mixed none mapped to the right one

Expected Results:  
map the right keys to the right characters

just a base install of 1.4 livecd

I will try to write it myself if i'm allowed


greetings

Tested on the Powermac G5, a TiBook 550 and an imac 233 with azerty. This works great!  Don't forget to credit yourself for your work in the comments of the keymap. I'm going to add this as an official ppc keymap. Any chance of modifying the Xfree keymap?

I will try to write the xfree keymap but first need to install xfree on my system then :p

greetings,

mac-be-G4 map for the Powerbook

Ok i made the changes to the map so the control keys were mapped correctly

changed the header to list my name.
Perhaps the title of the map should change for powerbook but i don't know how a
desktop keyboard from apple looks like

greetings
