Marc-Christian Petersen sent me a patch for inclusion on my powerbook page. I did not yet find time to try it, but I append it to this email so you can have a go. As far as I understand it, it disables the new (and not yet supported) 2.6.14 mechanism and reenables the old patch instead. As soon as the console keyboard utilities and the X-Server support the new mechanism, the patch will probably no longer be necessary. I hope this helps, Jochen -- http://seehuhn.de/
