Created attachment 21919 [details] Patch to add module option for enabling/disabling ISO layout an Apple USB keyboard, kernel version 2.6.30 Hi, Many people who are using an Apple USB keyboard, have swapped keys on the keyboard (e.g. "^" and "<"). The problem can be solved when the hardcoded ISO layout in the driver is disabled. (It helps at least on my german version of keyboard). I've made a very small patch for the driver, which includes a new module option named "iso_layout". The default value of this option is enabled, which means the driver behaves just like before. When the value is setted to "0", the driver disables the ISO layout and the keyboard does not swap keys any longer. The patch was made for kernel version 2.6.30.
