    After looking for a while on the net, I got my French Mac Book Pro keyboard working in Fedora Core 5 and Ubuntu under Parallels Desktop.

    Here is what I did:

    cd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/
    sudo mv fr fr.orig
    sudo wget -c http://bersace03.free.fr/pub/Linux/xkb-mac/fr
    sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    ...in order to change these 2 lines:
    Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
    Option "XkbLayout" "fr"

    Then I restarted, and that's all :)

    Now, I would really appreciate if someone could give me a similar method for console (outside X window).

    Thanks.
