French Mac Book Pro keyboard under X window and console

[rascuacho]

After looking for a while on the net, I got my French Mac Book Pro keyboard working in Fedora Core 5 and Ubuntu under Parallels Desktop.

Here is what I did:

cd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/
sudo mv fr fr.orig
sudo wget -c http://bersace03.free.fr/pub/Linux/xkb-mac/fr
sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
...in order to change these 2 lines:
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"

Then I restarted, and that's all

Now, I would really appreciate if someone could give me a similar method for console (outside X window).

Thanks.

Found a keymap (to be used with the "loadkeys" command while in a console) that appears to work fine: ftp://ftp.linux-france.org/pub/macintosh/kbd-mac-fr-4.1.tar.gz

The keymap is called mac-fr-ext_new.kmap.gz inside the archive.
