Mac keyboard and evdev/HAL

Hi,
Is there a way to use macintosh keyboard layout (new slim aluminium model) without xorg.conf ?
I suppose there is a way to indicate to HAL to get specific mapping .. but wiki doesn't explain this well
So if anybody know how to do, or run the same configuration, thanks

Re: Mac keyboard and evdev/HAL

I presume it's same way you use any other non-standard US layout with Xorg 1.5 and up: with HAL?

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … _xorg.conf

You can use HAL for the mouse too, so I presume you will be able to get hal to parse tweaks for the keyboard too. If not, you'll have to create an Xorg.conf with only those keyboard settings in it.
