Italian keyboard layout

[Caesar]

Italian layout is active and setted up as the default layout.... but still my italian iBook keyboard isn't mapped well.

W\w instead of Z\z, ò\ç instead of m\M.... and so on, any help?

Thanks a lot for your google search, perhaps this link is also useful:

Tastiera fuori dall'ambiente grafico

per poter scrivere alcuni caratteri è necessario l'uso dell'alt-gr tasto che manca nella tastiera del nostro adorato iBook. È tuttavia possibile risolvere questo problema modificando la mappa dei caratteri caricata durante il boot. Per rendere più semplice il tutto potete usare quella creata da me: ibook-it.map (http://www.gnuraghe.org/?download=ibook-it.zip)

a questo punto occorre copiarla nella cartella "/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/" e modificare il file "/etc/init.d/keymap.sh" come segue:

#CONFFILE=${CONFDIR}/${CONFFILEROOT}.${EXT}.gz
CONFFILE=/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ibook-it.map

Le modifiche saranno attive automaticamente ad ogni avvio dell'iBook. Tuttavia se si vuole verificare che tutto funzioni è possibile eseguire il seguente comando:
sudo /etc/init.d/keymap.sh restart

I'll try as soon as possible.

I'll try as soon as possible.
I didn't install ibook-it.map I just set in System ->Preference->Keyboard, on Layouts tab:
Keyboard model: Generic 101-key PC
Layout: Italian

It work fine with my iBook G4 933mhz Hoary 5.04.
To get: # @[ ] use cmd (Apple) key instead of Alt-gr key.

It work also on Live CD.

Hello everyone,

I've got the same problem for my Ibook Se 466 graphite.

I've found the solution:

in System ->Preference->Keyboard, on Layouts tab I've selected:
macintosh - No decription

Layout:
Italian

So now my qzerty italian keyboard (also called Olivetti type) the one with M/m besides L/l works properly.
