The kbd package does not contain layouts for the Mac USB keyboards.

The console-data package in Debian contains layouts for them that I
import to get the correct layout. The layouts are mostly correct - e.g.
the UK Mac USB keyboard uses right-alt+3 for #, and has a pound sign in
place of the dollar, but the white/pro keyboard models have a few quirks
that aren't covered in these maps - backtick/tilde and
section/plus-minus aren't correctly mapped.

Xorg, to the best of my knowledge, has none of these layouts at all.

I don't know if Yellow Dog has support for these keymaps out of the box,
but it may be useful to peek into their kbd and xorg keymaps SRPMS and
see if they have any.
