Ok.
I have a 2004 iBook G4 too, although the keyboard is 'international' -
more or less US layout - and I don't have any dead keys.
So - which keys are affected? Does anything change when you use
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
instead? ( make sure you stick to the 'kbd' driver, 'keyboard' has
lots of weird problems with non-PC keyboards ) Yes, that's a blatant lie
but XFree translates everything to PCish scancodes anyway before feeding
it to xkb so the PC keymaps should just work.
have fun
