Keyboard mapping issue after upgrade to 8.04

[AlainJLEB]

Hi there,

After the sound problem, I've just discovered a new annoying one: since the upgrade, the keyboard mapping is no more correct.

On my alumni iMac 24, I'm using a French azerty keyboard ... in 7.10, I had configured it correctly to have thing working fine, except the F7 to F12 special keys (back,play,fw,sound, ...)

Since the upgrade, those keys are now working ... but the @/# key (below ESC) has been switched with the </> (at right of left shift).

Beside this, CTRL-F1 to CTRL-F4 is not working anymore ... when I try to change the shortcut sequence in the system settings of Kubuntu, hitting CTRL-F1 is recognized as Ctrl-XF86LaunchD ... CTRL-F1 is recognized as Ctrl-XF86LaunchE ...

The keyboard config of Xorg is the following:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier   "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver     "kbd"
    Option     "CoreKeyboard"
    Option     "XkbRules"   "xorg"
    Option     "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option     "XkbLayout"   "fr"
    Option     "XkbVariant"  "mac"
EndSection

When looking at the content of the fr file in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr, it seems that mapping is correct there:

key <TLDE> {    [     at,  numbersign,  periodcentered,     Ydiaeresis   ]    };

Any idea?
Alain
