I also have a problem with some ascii keys. At least on the french 
keyboard, most upper row numbers don't work. I hacked a workable 
keyboard (or rather enhanced on a hack Johannes Fortmann wrote) in july 
(posted to the list on july 17th and 21st) but I'd rather build on the 
current system. I guess that the mac keycodes are different from te PC 
ones and need an extra translation. SDL is not perfect in that respect, 
though I haven't tries 1.2.8 release.

I'll look at it as soon as I can.
