Keyboards & mouse problems on macbook 4.1 with ubuntu 9.04

[PapaNico]

Hi,

I recently installed ubuntu 9.04 on my macbook 4.1 and I am really surprised that almost everything works ''out of the box''.

I would like to have some help on 3 specific points.

1) I have a french keyboard and my / and ù are switched. I heard that on the last version of ubuntu there was a way to switch them correctly in the keyboard preferences, layout options but in 9.04 the option is gone. Any help?

2) My middle mouse button (usb mouse) isn't working as it was before. When I press on a link with my middle mouse button it works fine (opens in new tab) but when I press it in a middle of an internet page where I was expecting to find the classic 4 ways scroll with mouse nothing happens...

3) I would like to know how to switch some of my keyboards keys, especially the fn, ctrl, alt, cmd, etc. I would like to create a shortcut for 'del' which my mac is missing and maybe remplacing cmd key by this one. i have found a tutorial to do this in the last ubuntu version but the info is missing for 9.04

Thanks a lot, I might have more questions since I haven't been using ubuntu for a while.

Nicolas.

You should be able to swap key functions with xmodmap
