Hi List,
yesterday I installed OpenBSD 5.0 on my 2006 Powerbook G4 model. First
of all, thanks for an impressive job!
The installation worked like a charm. The powerbook came up with
ethernet, wlan, audio and X working. This is impressive! Thanks :-)
However, I have a few open questions, I couldn't answer myself after
reading the documentation, asking google and cruising the ppc@
mailinglist via gmane.org.
1.) In console mode, using "kbd de", I'm missing some very important
keys. Namely: < > | [ ] { } @
It's kinda hard to use a unix without them... ;)
Any clue where they are? Or how to map them to some keys?
2.) Same counts for X. I just used start x and as said above, I'm glad
that X came up and looked good.
But without them keys, again, it's hard too use.
Even shot myself into the foot when I installed fluxbox and realized,
that ctrl+alt+backspace wasn't working. Crivens!
Does somebody has a good working xmodmap for german keyboard on
powerbook G4 lying around?
I remember a graphical tool which helped building an own xmodmap. But I
just can't remember how that one was called. I tried xev, but that was
just plain confusing.
3.) Battery status: Any tool to read out that one?
If I'm able to solve those questions, I'm a lucky OpenBSD/ppc user :)
While I'm at it, some minor questions:
- Is it possible to switch between Fn keys and the second function, like
brightness, sound volume and that-would-be-awesome, keyboard backlight?
I guess not... but asking doesn't hurt.
Thanks for any help in advance and keep up the good work!
