Out of curiosity, which keyboard? What's the model code M3501, M0487 ...?

Openbox is great! Fast, flexible, cheap to run, only one dep, and works nicely with fbpanel.

I think macintosh_old is for old kernels (or newer kernels that have been configured to send ADB keycodes -- but I've never seen one, since powerpc and m68k switched to linux keycodes years ago).

Fwd: PS3/Gentoo Aranym builder needs help

Sounds like a lot of work though. -f I think he is just trying to build aranym with a regular linux kernel. so far. that is 3.5 ghz just in the core ... he has 2.6.16 kernel and gcc4.1-1, he seems to be missing some library, which it said it could do with out but apparently not. my concern i did not reply to him, but I might have said "why don't you try installing debian and booting it with your gentoo kernel" except i know it seems presently that the aranym although built here in debian it appeared to be broken on ppc. was that you who confirmed it. _ (this below sort of belong with the other thread) ___ xev: keycode 204 keysym 0x0 nosymbol [q630/adesso] keycode 104keysym 0xff54 down [pbg4/ironman] this is from pressing the cursor down arrow key. ok this means i need to hand input the keycodes ?? old mac keyboard (adb) is made in thailand, addesso in taiwan, another looks the same mac extendedII kb i have says made in china M2980 (e/o keys dead in OSX.2.8) I am still using the "pc104" layout rather than the "macintosh". all these kbds look the same layout. only difference maybe sometimes addesso is more / less sticky. I tried using my best kb first, then the second alternative. I will try some more tomorrow. i have a backup now I can try on 605, or can try install ing just etch and not sid (again, with more ram this time easier). I think the problem with emacs is it just need to be rebuild, too big gaps from the toolchain it was build with. Now i have two i could try that.

Given the keycodes, xmodmap should be able to fix your cursor keys. There are how-tos around, and man pages of course. > old mac keyboard (adb) is made in thailand, addesso in > taiwan, another looks the same mac extendedII kb i have > says made in china M2980 (e/o keys dead in OSX.2.8) I have a model M2680 and 3 or 4 other varieties. I don't know what keycodes they produce though. I'll do some tests when I have more RAM and etch installed. -f -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
