Hi Jon,

i've done it recently and can give you some tips...

First character mode (aka console). Check your file /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.

My settings

KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="sg"

configure the system PC-like but usable.
@ = Apple+2
# = Apple+3
[] = Apple+ü and Apple+¨
{} = Apple+ä and Apple+$
\ = Apple+<
The rest is just as written on the keys.

X-Windows was more challenging. First I've tried
with different keyboard settings in /etc/X11/XF86Config.

My actual settings are (in the keyboard section):

#Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:swapcaps"
Option	"XkbRules"	"xfree86"
Option	"XkbModel"	"pc105"
Option	"XkbLayout"	"de_CH"
#Option	"XkbVariant"	""
#Option	"XkbOptions"	""

Not very successfull. I've missed, just as you, the @ and other
C-Programming-Characters....

That's why i've put together all keycodes using xmodmap and xev.
(See the Attachement)
Name the file .Xmodmap and copy it to your $HOME and restart your
X-Window.

It modifies the keyboard layout to the same behaviour as the one
in the console, including Apple+G as @.
