MacBook keyboard incorrect mapping [Jaunty]

[Mark Murphy]

MacBook 5,1 changing to the correct keyboard mapping (ie Apple, Macbook International) generates the following error on UK keyboard:
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:
The X.Org Foundation
10603000

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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results are:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "gb", "mac", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "gb", "mac", ""
mark@mark-laptop:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = []
 options = []
 model = macbook79
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keyboard is still not correctly mapped - ie £ key cannot generate hash when alt 3 is typed

Thank you for the report, but this is not a launchpad bug, re-assigning to Ubuntu.
We're interested in why you accidentally recorded this bug as occurring in Launchpad instead of Ubuntu. If you can explain what happened, please let us know in bug 88818.

@Mark, please could you check if this issue is still affecting you under latest release included in Ubuntu Lucid? Thanks!
