Adam,
I'm not sure why 'a' is not working for you. XFree86 4 uses the new input
layer by default ("macintosh"). It supports the use of old keycodes with
"macintosh_old". You might try upgrading to a kernel with the new input
layer and using pc keycodes. You'll need to change back to "macintosh" and
use x86 keymaps (/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps is where you'll find them).
I haven't setup the new input layer stuff on my iBook yet so I'm not
positive. I'm sure someone can give you more detail. "macintosh_old" is
working for me.
Regards,
Charles
