ADB keyboard mapping in XFree86 4.2 partially screwed up

The keyboard mapping for my ADB keyboard is partially screwed
in XFree86 4.2; most of the keys are fine, but the cluster of keys
containing the cursor keys, home/end + page up/down are all
generating weird crap.
The keyboard was completely buggered until I selected the
"104-key PC" layout in the KDE keyboard control panel.
Now it's just these few keys.
I tried a few other layouts (discounting those that seemed like
they just *had* to be wrong), but nothing gave any better results.
This keyboard worked just fine w/ XFree86 4.1(? if I correctly
remember the version of XFree86 I was running before this).
Here're the relevant portions of my XF86Config-4:
==================================================
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "My XFree86 Config"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CustomKeycodes"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh_old"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
==================================================
Clues, anyone? The XFree86 documentation leaves alot to be
desired when it comes to Mac support...
