Hummm.....
I set linux keycodes in yaboot.conf, and seem to have got them... but
cmtdb121:~> cat /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
cat: /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes: No such file
or directory
cmtdb121:~> ls /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid
mouse_button2_keycode mouse_button3_keycode mouse_button_emulation
cmtdb121:~> uname -a
Linux cmtdb121 2.4.16-powerpc #1 Wed Nov 28 15:18:00 EST 2001 ppc unknown

On the positive side, the sticking mouse has been cured. I don't know
how, but it was coincident with an XFree base upgrade. The configurer
asked me for the PCI slot my video card was in and I took the default.
It seemed to know the rest, but it also broke the keyboard again (it
changed it to using macintosh_old, probably because I'd been messing
around with the config file by hand and it didn't catch up).
The question only defaults to macintosh_old under very specific
circumstances:
db_get xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/rules
if [ "$RET" = "sun" ]; then
tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model "type5"
elif [ "$RET" = "xfree86" ]; then
if [ "$ARCH" = "powerpc" ]; then
MODEL=macintosh
# good old-fashioned BRAIN DAMAGE
if [ -e /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes ]; then
if [ "$(cat /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes)" = "0" ];
then
MODEL=macintosh_old
fi
fi
tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model $MODEL
else
tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model "pc104"

validate_string_db_input xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model || debug_report_status
"validate_string_db_input xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model"
"$?"
Note the "BRAIN DAMAGE" part.
