After changing the keyboard driver to kbd, I could remove almost all of
my mappings.  Those that remain are to set up Pointer_EnableKeys and
some personal preferences.  Treating the little 'enter' at the lower
right of the keyboard which sends keycode 200 as Alt_R is a little
surprising (it is marked the same as the normal enter's "fn"/num-lock
variant, ie KP_Enter), it isn't a problem.

There is also one dead key: the "+/-" or "paragraph sign" key at the
top left, just below Escape.  When I press it, xev doesn't react at all.

This is on a "US" keyboard, but I bought the iBook in the Netherlands,
so it might have slight differences from actual US keyboards.

Regards,
Peter
