Making AltGr work on powerpc notebooks

I just tried that out. But with Fn+Alt I can only reach some
characters (@, | and ~), all the brackets and the \ are missing.

BTW, after fixing #958 (mac text console key mapping), I have exactly
the same behavior at the consoles. Fn+Alt produces the keycode '100'
(which is indeed AltGr), and the new keymaps correcly assign AltGr to
it. 125 (Command key) is also assigned to 'AltGr'.

So Apple and Fn+Alt are both mapped to AltGr, but the Command key
produces correct results, while but the Fn+Alt key doesn't.

If that is possible, this would by far be the best option (for the
text consoles as well).
