Xkb configuration on Macs

2001-08-05 Thread Michel Dänzer
I used to recommend something like "XkbModel" "pc104" for Linux keycodes. By actually reading the descriptions in the debconf interface, I learned that the new "macintosh" is for that purpose. So my updated recommendation is "XkbModel" "macintosh_old" for ADB keycodes and "XkbModel" "macintosh"

how to set PRAM audio level?

2001-08-05 Thread Wilhelm Fitzpatrick
Is there a tool that can be used to set the audio level stored in PRAM on Mac hardware? Can ntsetenv be used for this? I've found an init for MacOS that sets the stored audio level to 0 on reboot to supress the boot-chime, and sets it back up on boot, and I thought it would be nice to have the sa

I don't think it's that off topic: perhaps there is something in the difference between x86 and ppc. OTOH, maybe it's just a bad message: it tells you false information. My Zope works fine on m68k, and I get the "failed" message. Russell > In fact, I thought of that immediately after maki
