I compiled the Debian 2.2.19 kernel on my PowerMac and found that with my
new kernel the usb keyboard generates weird characters. The stock 2.2.19
kernel works fine but I don't know what magic combination of USB and Mac
Driver options gives that correct behavior. Having read through the
documentation available via "make xconfig", and having made a check of the
archives for this mailing list I'm ready for a hint. Anybody got a hint for
me?
A related question: how can one determine what options were set when any
given kernel was compiled? Specifically, is there a way to find out what
options produced the stock Debian ppc kernel, kernel-image-2.2.19-pmac?
Here's some of the config for one of my several attempts (I've also tried
compiling with the new input layer CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID etc.):
