By using as "xkbd -keys allkeys.vkbd | BasiliskII", so far I have not seen any annoying side effects of having vkbd on OS2008. The "Alt" is interpreted fine by BasiliskII... so missing is a key and mapping for the MAC "Option" key... the last two rows of Fn keys perhaps could be more useful being redefined with PgUp, PgDn, Home, End keys, etc.

On an external BY Keyboard, the NIT configured to recognize it as a standard PC-105 kbrd, the "Alt" key maps perfectly into in the Mac's "Command" key... the "Windows" key (to the left of "Alt") is supposed to map into the Mac's "Option" key but it doesn't... the keypad keys such as PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Cursor keys all work fine.

So we are close. Since you have been several times around the basiliskII source, do you have any idea what codes does BasiliskII expect to recognize a Mac "Option" key?

My BasiliskII configuration, which I copied from elsewhere, uses a keyboardtype 15. From the source, could you list what the other keyboard types are?
