You mean I should comment out the line? right after the comment that says?: # Enables linux keycodes (dont disable!) dev.mac_hid.keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes = 1 > /etc/sysctl.conf; and read the ppc pages at > <http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/>. > > simon I did, and it tells me the opposite. I've already tried permuting these factors, and they only disable current keyboard functionality for my non-ADB kernel. I've also tried the keyboard models macintosh and macintosh_old, and they also don't fix the right shift key. I've had a bug report in with Yellow_Dog_Linux folks for months now, and they've led me through all these issues and variable permutations, and we still haven't fixed the problem, and every time I contact them they promise me they'll have a solution "soon" from the kernel guys, so I'm concluding that whatever is common between the YDL and Debian PPC ports is the area of the kernel containing this error, since both distributions exhibit the bug. The keycode maps have been verified / manually updated so X should work, but it doesn't. The screensaver module in KDE sees the right shift key, but the text input handling doesn't. -- Copyright 2002 Angela Kahealani. http://www.kahealani.com/ All Rights Reserved Without Prejudice, UCC 1-207, Non Assumsit, T.D.C.
