10.4: Change keymapping only on external keyboards
What exactly is the behavior that you're seeing? Is it that System Preferences successfully swapped the keys on both keyboards, but you can't get them to de-swap on the internal keyboard? Or do things work as you want if you use kextunload/kextload instead of rebooting, but then revert back when you do reboot? Or....?
10.4: Change keymapping only on external keyboards
after i edited, i had to go to disk utilities and repair privilages. once that happened, i then restarted. the external keyboard worked fine, but my laptop keyboard's command and option keys were just not working. i have no idea what they were mapped to, but they didn't work.

we'll since i only own one powerbook (an Aluminium one) i cant verify that it will work on other models. since you're external keyboard should still be working it shouldnt be to hard to revert the changes if you made a backup:
sudo cp ~/AppleADBKeyboard.backup.plist /System/Library/Extensions/AppleADBKeyboard.kext/Contents/Info.plistor if you didnt make a backup, just edit the plist file again and swap the two numbers back again.

Why did you repair permissions? If you edited the plist using the command given in the hint, you should not have had any permissions issues. It's very important that you don't try to edit it by copying it somewhere else, editing it there, and then copying it back. If you do that, the permissions WILL be wrong, and the OS will not load the kernel extension until you fix the permissions. |
