I've installed Kubuntu 11.10 on a MacBookPro (fresh install) and have now a problem with the keyboard. The special keys @, [, ], {, } and € are not working at all. I tried nearly every setting possible, but nothing helps. It is a German keyboard and the system language is also set to German. If I press, for example, the [applekey]+[L], I get a "l" instead of "@". If I use [alt] instead of [applekey] nothing happens. Regardless what I set at "systemsettings".

Has anybody managed this to work? And if so, what do I have to set, to make it work?

I've also tried to create a xorg.conf, but that didn't change a thing.

What happens if you click ALT-Q? Probably you have a Non-Apple setting now? Isn't there a choice to switch to MAc-German?
I don't run KDE but probably you can adjust that.

Thanks for your reply. I checked all the settings I did again and now I found the error. It was a typo in xorg.conf. Now it works with the setting to german and the keyboard set to MacBookPro (no intl!).
