wrong keyboard mapping with apple keyboard (french)

[Sebastien Estienne]

i'm using an apple keyboard (USB) on a common PC and the keymap is wrong on X and console.

lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05ac:0205 Apple Computer, Inc. Apple Extended Keyboard [Mitsumi]

i found instruction to get it working here:
http://www.linux-france.org/macintosh/clavier_v4.html

basically i download this: ftp://ftp.linux-france.org/pub/macintosh/kbd-mac-fr-4.1.tar.gz
sudo cp fr_new /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/fr_new

and modify my xorg.conf like this:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver "kbd"
        Option "CoreKeyboard"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
# Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
        Option "XkbLayout" "fr_new"
# Option "XkbVariant" "latin9"
        Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:lwin_switch"
EndSection

the tarball also contains instructions for the keyboard on the "console"

Thank you for reporting. I'm setting the status to Confirmed since you site other reports and present a solution (thanks!). Also changing the package to xkeyboard-config.
