Ah, indeed. I will try later today or tomorrow to boot my oldworld box, and see what kind of information i can get about the keyboard. I doubt that oldworld adb keyboards will become udev friendly anytime soon though. > And if you'd like to select a special keymap, you'd also need to identify > its type, unless you can do the distinction by (sub)arch. You probably can, adb keyboards are only used on oldworld machines, and those are easily enough to detect from /proc/cpuinfo. We even do so to get the oldworld subarch (pmac_oldworld even).
