Comment 2 for bug 214984

I just did a full reinstall. I installed hardy from the alternate CD (amd64) on LVM volumes on an encrypted partition.

I still have the same problem : the keyboard of the macbook works fine when entering the password for the encrypted volume and when logging in, but shows the same weird characters while in X.
When i switch to a virtual console with ctrl+alt+Fx it works fine again
So it's apparently only in X, although I don't see anything wrong with the xorg.conf:

---------xorg.conf snippet----------
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak"
    Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection
---------end xorg.conf snippet----------
