Debian 3.0 /testing here:
But I upgraded it 1 or 2 weeks ago the last time :)
(still have to have a *very* close look on how to prevent from being upgraded by
this future update my *extremely* cool new 2.4.21-ben2 kernel ... :)

I started xev and opened a keymap, something like:
zcat /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/mac-usb-de-latin1.kmap.gz
and with these 2 things I was able to identify the correct names for the keys ..
(at least I hope I did it correctly ... :)

More info on this in Configure.help in the 2.4.21-ben2 kernel sources:
<quote>
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES
This provides support for sending raw ADB keycodes to console
devices. This is the default up to 2.4.0, but in future this may be
phased out in favor of generic Linux keycodes. If you say Y here,
you can dynamically switch via the
/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
sysctl and with the "keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=" kernel
argument.
This option is now deprecated and will be removed in a future
kernel release.
If unsure, say N here.

and on
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/keycodes.html
I simply had some doubts on the situation here on my kernel: I unset
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES as recommended.
But I set other ADB options as posted in my initial mail in this thread that,
IIRC and provided I edited my kernel .config carefully, were not said to result
in problems in the future ...

Thanks for the hint: I already found this in english before my first posting ...
didn't help very much, except that I knew after reading what I have on my
machine. And in this respect this page seems to be very useful ...
Thanks again.

Sounds like John Lennon. And it helps ... :)
