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.

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.
