Are you talking about X when you mention "Keyboard sends Linux
keycodes" or is that some kernel argument? At the moment X is not a
priority for me (just getting stable console would make my day!)
Do you think it is best to wait for 2.6 rather than submit the driver
to debian now (which I don't know how to do!)
It will be interesting to see if the new input layer will allow the
user to reassign the caps lock key to meta or control... (yes I am
wierd!)

I have hacked together a Dvorak keymap (console) for the extended

very much a newbie, but want to contribute to Debian (even in the
smallest possible way).
I made this because I did not realise that the keymap files were not
abstracted from the drivers (is this a problem?). I found out the
hard way that the 'regular' x86 Dvorak layout made the mac keyboard
rather random... :-)
They are if you don't use "Keyboard sends Linux keycodes". If you did,
you could use x86 keymaps with only very minor changes.
Linux 2.6 (or 3.0) will definitely remove all the differences between
architectures, thanks to the new input layer.
Check http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Franz.Sirl/inputppc.html and

It would be nice to have dvorak available in the default debian install.
That's sick =P
Cheers
