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.
Found a keymap (to be used with the "loadkeys" command while in a console) that appears to work fine: ftp://ftp.linux-france.org/pub/macintosh/kbd-mac-fr-4.1.tar.gz The keymap is called mac-fr-ext_new.kmap.gz inside the archive.
