Re: Mouse & Keyboard settings on Debian for PowerPC

to get your keymap working, uncomment the lines under powermac in /etc/X11/XModmap and add "exec xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap &" to your .xinitrc file. I emulate a three button mouse by passing "adb_buttons=103,55" to the kernel at boot (via quik or BootX) which uses the command key as button two and F

xdm starts, but X doesn't

When I boot into Debian on my PowerMac 4400/200, the xdm logon screen pops up, but when I log in, the system thinks for a few seconds, and then returns to the logon screen. It's not a password problem, because I can put in a bad password and get the same result but with a message saying "invalid lo

Mouse & Keyboard settings on Debian for PowerPC

Anyone know what files need to be tweaked to get my one-button Mac mouse to emulate a three-button one, and what exactly needs to be tweaked? Same goes for getting my (Backspace/"delete") and "del" keys working the way I want. This is on a PowerMac 4400/200, extended keyboard, standard one-button

Mac-On-Linux - elf32_getehdr failed

I've just managed to get Debian installed on a PowerMac 4400/200. The base install wasn't too hard, but getting X to work was a bear. Finally, I've gotten X to work. Now I'm trying to get Mac-on-Linux (MOL) to work. If you're at all familiar with MOL, you know it's very Redhat-centric. So rather

Hi Adam, I have the option to buy either a 7300 or a 7600; so these are "safe" choices, right? I have been "digging" around the "linux on ppc" sites and it seems that I can use either quik or miboot... Cheers, Manuel >> Can I install Debian on a PowerMac without having a version of MacOS >>

After my last note, I discovered that Xpmac accepts a "-mode n" parameter that seems to do the trick. I'm can't find a table that says what the acceptable values of n are and what they mean, but I'm satisfied anyway. Thanks again!
