While upgrading from woody to sid this morning, this problem cropped up on my G4 Ti-PowerBook.
I was running in a Gnome terminal as "su". After the upgrade (console-tools- 0.2.3dbs-26), I got all kind of wierd garbage using the key-board such as "=" when I pressed the "Enter" key. I logged out of Gnome, which put me back in the CLI, then did a "startx" again. Everything was fine. There are no problems the keyboard. Perhaps it relates to XF86? Sorry, I forgot to export DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer so I don't have the output you need :( HTH John -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hampson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 10:51 PM To: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Volunteer with Mac wanted to verify bug On Sat, Nov 09, 2002 at 12:25:55PM +0100, Alastair McKinstry wrote: > Hello, > > I have a request of someone with a Mac. > Bug #166841 says that upgrade to console-tools-0.2.4-24dbs (which I > maintain) trashes the Mac keyboard (the good news is that it is fine > after reboot).

I'm not positive that it's the same problem, but it had the same symptoms, and I succesfully fixed it by logging out of X (which had been open when the upgrade happened) and it was working OK again at the kdm screen. So it _looks_ like the same problem. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 5th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
