The machines which I use are PC-clones, with various motherboards. I use the "Dvorak classic" keymap on whatever keyboard is handy. I touch-type, so the QWERTY labeling of the keys is not an issue.
A few years ago, I went shopping for a better keyboard (one with with high-quality key switches), and purchased a thin USB Macintosh keyboard (the board is so thin that a wrist pad is not required). The Mac keyboard worked properly under Sarge or Etch (whatever I was running at the time) when specified as a PS/2 keyboard. But upon upgrade to Lenny, I discovered that most of the function keys were not responsive. I did not have time to search for the problem, so I reverted to Logitech USB keyboards, which work without difficulty under Lenny. Is this problem a bug in xkb? Or has it become necessary to specify a "macintosh" keyboard during installation? As a secondary issue, has anyone found a method (other than epoxy) for permanently disabling the NUM LOCK key?
