Can you please check if this bug is still present in F15 or F16, Fedora 14 has since been EOL'd (sorry about the silence for this long). Created attachment 557078 [details]
Picture of apple aluminium keyboard AZERTY international
I'm currently running Fedora 16, fully updated. Parts have been fixed, other parts are still not ok.
I have attached a picture of the keyboard. Perhaps this helps to visualize the issues.
1. The key right next to LSHIFT is still switched with the key between ESC and TAB. This means that if I type on the key next to LSHIFT it outputs "²" (without shift) or "³" (with shift). If I type on the key between ESC and TAB, it outputs "<" or ">". Note that is only for the aluminium keyboard. I have it attached to a MacBook Pro while running these tests, and on that keyboard the keys are not switched, regardless of the hardware type I choose.
2. The second issue is also still valid: instead of "²" and "³" that key should output "@" (without shift) or "#" (with shift).
3. But the function keys continue to work now when I select the "Apple Aluminium Keyboard" and press the "Fn" key. That's good, thank you !
4. Of the "multimedia" keys only "Mute/Unmute", "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" are working. "Previous track", "Play/Pause", "Next track", "Reduce brightness","Increase brightness" and the others are not.
ok, thanks. can you please record each key that's not working as a separate file with evemu-record? I need to replay those locally to check what is broken. I also need the evemu-describe output. Thanks. 3+ months in NEEDINFO, closing. Please reopen when the requested information was provided. It took me a while to get back to this. I am not using the apple keyboard in my day to day activities due to the key issues. I will attach the requested files below. Note that I am using evemu-record /dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple__Inc_Apple_Keyboard-event-kbd There is a seconde id created when the keyboard is plugged in: usb-Apple__Inc_Apple_Keyboard-event-if01 I'm not sure what that one is about. I'll attach the output of evemu-description for both device paths. Created attachment 634182 [details]

Output of evemu-record when hitting the key in between LTAB and ESC with shift key pressed
I'm not sure if this matters, but I've run the previous test again, this time with the shift key pressed as well.

Output of evemu-record when hitting the key next to LSHIFT with shift key pressed
I'm not sure if this matters, but I've run the previous test again, this time with the shift key pressed as well.
Of the above tests, here's the character that is output (wrong) and the character that should be output (correct): File | wrong | correct | --------------------------------------- Attachement 634184 | < | @ | Attachement 634185 | > | # | Attachement 634186 | ² | < | Attachement 634187 | ³ | > | These tests have been run on F16, fully up to date. I don't know if this matters, but the version of xkeyboard-config is currently 2.3-3.fc16.noarch. I decided to run the tests on Fedora 17 as well. The evemu-record outputs seem exactly the same for this keyboard. Is this information sufficient for you to work on these two swapped keys ? If so, I'll also generate similar files for the multimedia keys that don't work properly. Otherwise, please let me know what else you need. Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. As I mentioned in comment 13, I can reproduce this issue in Fedora 17, so I'm reopening this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Still reproducible in Fedora 20. Reopening... In more detail: * The swapped '³²' and '<>' key is still unresolved. * The key between "tab" and "escape" which on a typical PC-105 keyboard is '²³' should be '#@' for an Apple Aluminium (Intl) keyboard * Brighten/Dim screen (on the F1 and F2 keys) is not working There are some improvements though. * Switching between function keys and media keys does work Actually no, ignore my previous comment. I was apparently testing in the pc-105 setting (forgot to apply keyboard settings). All of the issues are still there when selecting Apple Aluminium keyboard model in kde.
