Hi John,
I'm working from home today so I've ask the phd student to launch a PXE boot for a new full kikstart install with a PC keyboard and then try to configure the apple keyboard by hand. See the answers to your questions below.

I have just installed (with kikstart) centOS6.4 on a PC which was previously running OpenSUSE (11.x). This PC has an apple keyboard and I'm unable to setup this keyboard. In .xsession-errors I get this messages :
Error: No Symbols named "latin9" in the include file "macintosh_vndr/fr" Exiting Abandoning symbols file "(null)"
** (gnome-settings-daemon:8160): WARNING **: Could not activate the XKB configuration Error: No Symbols named "latin9" in the include file "macintosh_vndr/fr" Exiting Abandoning symbols file "(null)"
** (gnome-settings-daemon:8160): WARNING **: Could not activate the XKB configuration
What do you have in these files?
The PC is re-installed with a standard keyboard this morning and I have now:
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard
KEYTABLE="fr-latin9" MODEL="pc105" LAYOUT="fr" KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" VARIANT="latin9"
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Doesn't exist
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*
Empty directory
Maybe retry system-setup-keyboard?
It was the idea this morning: restart with a fresh install and a standard pc keyboard and switch to the apple one after. But when selecting the apple keyboard in system-setup-keyboard menu I get:
Error activating XKB configuration. It can happen under various circumstances: - a bug in libxklavier library - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data: CentOS 11300000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include: - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
So it is possible to work on the PC with the standard french PC keyboard but still not possible to use the apple keyboard.
