Please check if the problem still persists with the new input layer used.
If it does persist, take a look at the m68k Mac keyboard driver
and keytables in the kernel (the keytables map both 0 and the alternate
keycode 0x5a to a, or q in your case to be backwards compatible).
We had similar problems and just swapped keycode 0 for some other keycode.
It's not the Right Thing but gets the job done. Good luck convincing the
PPC kernel guys.
Relevant code fragment:
int mackbd_translate(unsigned char keycode, unsigned char *keycodep,
char raw_mode)
{
if (!raw_mode) {
/*
* Convert R-shift/control/option to L version.
* Remap keycode 0 (A) to the unused keycode 0x5a.
*/
switch (keycode) {
case 0x7b: keycode = 0x38; break; /* R-shift */
case 0x7c: keycode = 0x3a; break; /* R-option */
case 0x7d: keycode = 0x36; break; /* R-control */
case 0: keycode = 0x5a; break; /* A */
}
}
*keycodep = keycode;
return 1;
}
No idea if a separate kbd_translate hook is still used by the PPC keyboard
code.
