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.
