Tim,
If you search through the archives for this list, you'll come across a post I made on how to configure the Macintosh keyboard using XKB. The same principles apply to any keyboard layout. Have a look at:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-December/msg03199.html
for an outline of the process.
Regards,
Malcolm.

Hi.
I could not find this in the archives. If I missed it please point me in the right direction.
I have played with this now a couple of weeks and it just does not work.
What I want to do: There are two special keys on newer IBM Thinkpads (here it is a T41p). I want to use them for "next desktop" and "previous desktop". For some information and a foto see http://snarfed.org/space/thinkpad+keys+in+firefox
So I tried to do it the xmodmap way. And I thought it worked. But it only works exactly one time. For another time you have to completely restart X. The new Gnome informs you that it ignores ~/.Xmodmap, so I tried to load it via the session management of Gnome. No chance. No matter with which priority it started the settings got screwed. I have also tried to mess with xkb but it seems I didn't tweak the right files...
Has anybody done this and can tell how to get these keys working in FC3?
Thanx,
Tim
