- since i've decided to try running MOL instead of "classic" & MacOS X and - since i've got to realize that linux.debian.user and comp.os.linux.powerpc doesn't seem to be the correct forum for problems like these: it's about four weeks or so ... ;-)) indeed, i've found lots of hints in this direction but none of these seemed to help me solving the problem. ok. let's try:
your using a broken kernel. you must recompile it with CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=n
this way i'm also told by dpkg-reconfigure-dialog but i must confess i don't know how to do (do not beat the newbies, please: could someone give me some (step by step) instructions?
for now you must add teh following argument at the bootloader: keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1
using quik (it's an oldworld-mac) and thinking about this would be the mentioned "boatloader" i added this line in quik.conf because of that file looks very similar to the /etc/lilo.conf on our intel-family-router-box (running debian too): a fatal error (... as i can see _now_). adding this line as the "More Kernel arguments" in bootX (!) finally did redeem me from hacking cryptcal signes onto my venerable Extended II: thanks for your insistance ;-)) tnx to all, CU & regards robert ... on my way fishing the next problems ;-)) -- Was sieht man wirklich, und was erscheint einem nur so, als sähe man es?
