To use a French Macintosh keyboard with Linux, see the following URL:
http://www-sor.inria.fr/~shapiro/fr-mklinux-keyboard/This covers both X-windows and console mode. Short explanation: Keyboard layouts can be customized. The standard Linux installation understands the American QWERTY layout. It does contain configuration files for non-American layouts, but my experience is that they are incorrect and incomplete. I provide configuration files that conform as exactly as possible to French Macintosh keyboard layout. I also provide detailed instructions and automatic installation. marc.shapiro@inria.fr | |
I have set up a Web page on how to configure MkLinux to support foreign keyboards under both console mode and X-Windows. An improved German keyboard mapping is also included. http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~rauschma/linux/ (this is a partial repost from the answer to "How do I get my foreign (se, fr, de) keyboard to work with X?", so take a look at that one, too). rauschma@informatik.uni-muenchen.derauschma@informatik.uni-muenchen.de | |
Here you can find all you need to use the Apple Italian keyboard with MkLinux. http://www.polimedia.it/cristiano/itmap.htmlbertossi@polimedia.it | |
I have posted a complete solution for configuring both the consoles and Xwindows to use the dvorak keyboard layout. It can be found at the following address: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Byte/6176/dvorakhelp.html wcrowshaw@yahoo.comwcrowshaw@yahoo.com | |
If you want to use a German keyboard layout and Xpmac, which is the standard X server if you install LinuxPPC R5 with the X Windows installer, follow the instructions of Axel Rauschmayer at http://www.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/ ~rauschma/axellent/unix.html up to step 3. You don't have to configure XFree like in step 4. Instead, edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf (for the gnome display manager) There is a line below "[servers]" which reads 0=/usr/bin/X11/X change it to 0=/usr/bin/X11/X -kbdtype de If you boot right into X Windows (run level 5), this is all you have to do. If you boot to the console and later use "startx", edit /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and change the line serverargs="" to serverargs="-kbdtype de" Thanks to D.H.Herrendorfer@ukc.ac.uk for the startx instructions.

Greetings, If you're trying to get portuguese support on a Apple PowerBook G3 UK keyboard, then take a look at: ftp://ftp.projecto-oasis.cx/pub/linux/misc/ In there you will find correct, and full-featured, console and X keymaps, along with instructions on how to set everything up.
