hi, 

if anyone can help, please do. 

I somehow toasted my keyboard settings (i think by trying to switch to
Dvorak in MDK Control Center). i recovered a copy of
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard from a time before this problem started, but the
problem didn't go away. (!)

(I'm not sure if this is the case, but it seems like a PPC distro
shouldn't even include keymaps for x86? Just a crazy idea. Maybe some
automatic detection could avoid ever installing inappropriate layouts
for the machine. I've had this problem with both MDK and SuSE --
everything's fine with the keyboard until you try to change the mapping
in a control center for the system or desktop.)

So somehow, my keys are mostly OK under X (edited my XF86Config-4). I
can switch to text consoles (ctrl-command-Fx), but then once there, the
keymap is all wrong, I can't switch back to X or log in, the only option
is a hard reset.

here is the vital info: 

Powerbook G4 
MDK 8.0 updated with many things from the Cooker. 
kernel: 2.4.16.6mdk-1-1mdk 

thanks,
-i
